Following its international debut at Sundance earlier this year, Shudder has announced that it has acquired all rights in its territories to Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar’s hit horror film Impetigore.
The film will premiere on Shudder in the US, Canada and the UK on July 23rd, 2020.
Anwar’s award-winning supernatural movie, Satan’s Slaves, was released as a Shudder Original in 2018. Satan’s Slaves has been a top performing title for Shudder and has also been embraced by critics with an 89% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Joko Anwar is a master of modern horror, and Satan’s Slaves is one of the most loved -- and scariest -- movies on Shudder. We couldn’t wait to work with him again and are thrilled to share his scary, visceral and darkly sinister Impetigore with Shudder members," said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager.
"Impetigore is my love letter to horror movies I grew up with, slashers, ghost stories, wrapped in a tragic family drama not unlike my family," said Anwar. "I’m excited to be working again with Shudder to bring Impetigore to their members around the world."
Impetigore stars Tara Basro (Satan’s Slaves), Marissa Anita, (HBO Asia’s “Folklore: A Mother’s Love) Asmara Abigail (Satan’s Slaves), Ario Bayu (Dead Time), and Christine Hakim (Eat, Pray, Love).
