Shudder's Latest Scream Queen Collaboration Set for Theatrical Release
A chilling survival slasher is on its way to theaters, as Shudder Original Productions has announced the theatrical release of "River," a feature film directed by Joshua Giuliano. The movie brings together two modern scream queens, Jane Levy ("Evil Dead") and Jessica Rothe ("Happy Death Day"), in a heart-pounding tale of terror.
When three estranged siblings reunite in their hometown to scatter their father's ashes at his favorite spot on a remote river, they think it will be a poignant moment to close the book on their troubled past. However, their boat breaks down, leaving them stranded miles from help with no cell service. As night falls, they realize they're being stalked by a faceless killer who has emerged from the woods.
With their long-standing grudges momentarily set aside, the siblings must put their lives together to survive the night against a ruthless, almost mythic terror. "River" is a visceral and deeply personal horror film that promises to be a thrilling experience for audiences.
Giuliano, an L.A.-based horror filmmaker by way of Indiana's cornfields, has been perfecting his craft through numerous award-winning short films at various festivals around the world. His feature debut, "River," was six years in the making and marks a significant milestone in his career as a horror filmmaker.
"I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Shudder on 'River'," Giuliano said. "Working with this talented team has been an absolute dream come true, and I look forward to sharing our terrifying creation with audiences worldwide."
"River" boasts an impressive cast of talented actors, including Levy, Rothe, Dane DiLiegro ("Prey"), Max Mattern ("Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy"), and a host of producers from Spooky Pictures, Eat the Cat, Allegheny Image Factory, and Upgrade.
Shudder's vice president of development and production, Nicholas Lazo, hailed Giuliano as a striking new voice in horror. "His script captivated us from page one," he said. "It's our privilege to team up with such an immensely talented group of producers, cast, and crew to bring his feature debut to life."
"River" is set to hit theaters soon, bringing the horrors of the remote river to audiences everywhere.
