Anchor Bay Entertainment has picked up the Kim Basinger suspense thriller While She Was Out for distribution. The film will be released theatrically December 12, with a national DVD release in 2009. Susan Montford wrote and directed the movie, which was produced by Don Murphy and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro. In the film set around the holidays, Basinger stars as a suburban housewife mercilessly stalked by a group of young thugs led by a manipulative psychopath (Lukas Haas). She fights for her life armed with only a toolbox. “(Anchor Bay’s) expertise will bust through the film glut that is out there and help push this film about the ‘worst Christmas Eve ever,’ ” says Murphy.
