U.S. Rights Acquired for the Body Horror Film 'Antibirth'
IFC Midnight has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the body horror film Antibirth, written and directed by Danny Perez.
The film stars Natasha Lyonne, Chloe Sevigny, Meg Tilly, and Mark Webber, and follows trailer dweller Lou and her best friend Sadie as they spend nights in pot and booze-fueled marathon TV binges. When they party, it's with a community of drug-addled ex-marines and other outcasts.
One night, Lou experiences a bizarre illness and psychosomatic visions, and can't remember anything from the previous night. Her symptoms grow rapidly and something otherwordly infects her body and refuses to stop.
“I’m excited to be teaming up with IFC Midnight. Their passion and understanding of this film felt like the perfect way to bring this unique story to the world,” says Perez. “Natasha’s bold performance brings this challenging character to humorous life in ways fans of Lyonne haven’t seen her before. It was a pleasure to collaborate with such great talent.”
