SCREAMBOX Acquires French Horror ‘Deep Fear’ and Heads Into the Catacombs This November!
Cinedigm announced today they have acquired North American rights to the Belgian survival horror film Deep Fear, which will have its world premiere at Fantastic Fest this September before streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered SCREAMBOX on November 1.
Directed by Grégory Beghin (Losers Revolution) and set in the 1980s, three students set out on the adventure of a lifetime as they decide to celebrate their recent graduation in Paris. Eager to do something more exciting than visit the local tourist spots, they decide to descend into the capital city’s cryptic catacombs.
Safe within the underground, they find the escape they’ve been searching for, unaware that they are not alone in the darkness…
When they discover a bunker created during the Nazi occupation, they have no way of knowing the danger that lurks within. Something, someone, is hunting them! Trapped deep underground, the group needs to get out before it’s too late…
“The Catacombs are scary as it is, but inject a heavy dose of claustrophobia, an undead Nazi and his dog, and you’ve got yourself a nightmare deep under the streets of Paris,” says Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting’s Managing Director.
“Dark, dank, and bloody, French horror is making a comeback and Deep Fear delivers the goods.”
Lori Donnelly writes for Fantastic Fest: “An atmospheric horror full of old-school jump scares and claustrophobic cinematography, Deep Fear puts a unique spin on subterranean horror films like The Descent and As Above, So Below. Deep Fear intelligently combines the conventions established by the earlier films with classic slasher elements into an entertaining ride that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. ”
Fantastic Fest 2022 runs from September 22 – September 29 in Austin, Texas. For more information, visit their website.
Written by Nicolas Tackian (Alex Hugo), the film pulls viewers away from the beautiful lights of the French capital into the notorious city of the dead. The film is executive produced by Sébastien Delloye and François Touwaide.
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Acquisitions Manager, on behalf of Cinedigm and Greg Chambet of WTFilms on behalf of the filmmakers.

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
