Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streamer for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, has announced the acquisition of The Cellar, from critically-acclaimed Irish writer-director Brendan Muldowney.

The news comes ahead of the film’s world premiere at SXSW this March. The horror, which is also the closing film of FrightFest Glasgow, will be released by Wildcard Distribution in Irish cinemas on March 25.   

“The Cellar is a riveting story that we think will appeal to both horror lovers and broader audiences alike, and we’re delighted to work with RLJE Films to bring it to the widest possible audience,” said Craig Engler, GM of Shudder. “Brendan and this talented team have crafted a dark and haunting tale that we’re excited to share with audiences this April.”

Filmed on location in Roscommon, Ireland, The Cellar tells the story of Keira Woods (Cuthbert), whose daughter mysteriously vanishes in the cellar of their new house in the country. Keira soon discovers there is an ancient and powerful entity controlling their home that she will have to face or risk losing her family’s souls forever.

“Ever since we made the short film The Ten Steps, which The Cellar is based on, I have seen the profound effect and power it has had on audiences,” said Muldowney. “I am really excited to be working with Shudder and RLJE Films in bringing this feature-length version of the nightmare to a wider audience.”

The Cellar is an Irish/Belgian co-production with Conor Barry of Savage Productions and Richard Bolger of Hail Mary Pictures serving as producers.  It is co-produced with Benoit Roland from Wrong Men Films in Belgium.  Patrick Ewald of Epic Pictures Group, Lesley McKimm of Screen Ireland, John Gleeson and Oisín O’Neill for BCP Asset Management Sarah Dillon of the WRAP Fund and Patrick O’Neill of Wildcard Distribution are executive producers.  Production investment was provided by Screen Ireland, Epic Pictures, BCP Asset Management, The Western Region Audiovisual Producers Fund / WRAP Fund and Wallimage, BNP Paribas Fortis Film Finance, VOO & BETV. 

The Cellar will have a day-and-date premiere on April 15th, streaming exclusively on Shudder in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand with a U.S. theatrical release through RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks.  

Wildcard Distribution will release The Cellar in Irish cinemas on March25.
