‘Contracted’ Trailer Can’t Cover Up the Scars…
After a successful campaign at the FrightFest in the UK, IFC sets to release Eric England’s twisted horror film, Contracted, on VOD platforms this November. While an official trailer has yet to be released, an international version is infecting the Web.
“Contracted tells the terrifying tale of a young girl who has a one-night stand with a stranger and contracts what she thinks is a sexually transmitted disease – but it is actually something far worse. As things begin to crumble around her, she is sent on a disturbing and bloodcurdling journey sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.”
Written and directed by England, the film stars Najarra Townsend, Matt Mercer, Alice Macdonald, Katie Stegeman, Simon Barrett, Charlie Koontz, and Caroline Williams.
The film, which will be released theatrically and on VOD in November, was produced by J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of Boulderlight Pictures, and Southern Fried Films. Thanka to Fabien M. for the tip!
While we wait for the serial killer thriller Longlegs, director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel) has already set up his NEXT movie. It’s titled Keeper.
Deadline reports tonight that Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) and Rossif Sutherland (Possessor) will star in Keeper, and NEON has acquired the rights to the project.
Deadline notes, “Neon will distribute in the U.S. and handle international sales rights to the film in Cannes, with Elevation Pictures set to distribute in Canada.”
“Keeper follows a couple as they escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.”
Perkins will direct from a screenplay written by Nick Lepard.
First up, NEON will release Longlegs in theaters on July 12.
