The Chris W. Freeman written and directed horror/thriller will be released on DVD and packed with special features on September 15th, 2020. The film will also be available to stream digitally with a simultaneous day-and-date release.
From the acclaimed team at Genre Labs and Elevate Pictures comes the captivating tale of Felix Fojas, a paranormal investigator, and his journey to investigate the mysterious loss of his old lover, Amanda, in a sleepy midwestern town. Quickly, he discovers she fell victim to the Batibat, an ancient evil that followed her home from the Philippines. Felix must now battle the forces of evil and unravel the mystery of the Batibat in order to save Amanda’s daughter, Sarah, from its hellish grip.
"We wanted a fresh take on the classic demonic possession tale," states writer and producer Aaron Mack. "Along with jarring terrors, we wove in elements of police investigation, tortured family dynamics, and elements of the occult that is layered onto the ancient batibat folklore."
Evil Takes Root: The Curse of the Batibat's cast includes Nicolas Gonzalez ("The Good Doctor"), Stevie Lynn Jones (Nancy Drew), Sean Carrigan (Ford v Ferrari), and Adetokumboh M’Cormack (Battle Los Angeles).
