Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has boarded sales rights to genre-horror The Windmill Massacre ahead of Berlin’s EFM, reports ScreenDaily.
From debut writer-director Nick Jongerius and producer Daniel Koefoed – both producers on Frankenstein’s Army – “The Windmill Massacre tells the gory tale of a devil-worshipping miller that, legend has it, ground the bones of locals instead of grain. Back from beyond the grave, the miller seeks vengeance on a group of unsuspecting tourists, who share a dark secret.”
Broadchurch and Jupiter Ascending actress Charlotte Beaumont stars alongside Noah Taylor (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory) and Patrick Baladi (Rush).
“It has been a privilege to shoot an international horror as my feature debut, using the famous Dutch heritage and locations as the backdrop. I have always been fascinated, and scared at the same time, by windmills,” said Jongerius. “I can assure you will look at them differently from now on.”
Filmed in Amsterdam, the English-language feature is in post-production and due for delivery this spring.
