Vertical Entertainment has picked up global distribution rights to Jordan Downey’s medieval horror movie The Head ahead of the American Film Market next week, Deadline says.
The Head follows the lonely, twisted trek of a bounty hunter (Christopher Rygh) who seeks vengeance on the monster that slayed his only daughter.
The movie has played the Sitges Film Festival in Spain and won Best Overall Feature Film and Best Cinematography awards at the Nightmares Film Festival last weekend. Downey, in addition to directing, co-wrote with Kevin Stewart (Unfriended: Dark Web) who also served as DP. Downey and Stewart are producers along with Ricky Fosheim and Erin Moody as associate producer.
