Cult-horror film The Heretics will be available via Canadian home video on September 18th from Black Fawn Distribution and A71 Entertainment. The film was produced by Black Fawn Films and Breakthrough Entertainment, who also brought us Let Her Out, Bite, The Drownsman, and Antisocial.
Synopsis: Gloria, a young girl who is abducted by a man who claims that a cult is hunting her down. His goal is to protect her until sunrise but, while restrained, Gloria falls deathly ill. While her friends and family desperately search for her, the source of her illness becomes more apparent. She’s not sick… she’s changing.
Described as “part body-horror and part cabin-in-the-woods thriller,” The Heretics started making festival rounds after its world premiere at Toronto’s Canadian Film Fest. The film had additional screenings at Sitges Film Festival, Hardline Film Festival, South African HorrorFest, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, and LundInternational Fantastic Film Festival.
“We traveled to festivals all over the world with “The Heretics” and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this film home this September,” states film director Chad Archibald. “We’ve got a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack locked and loaded with special features specially designed by the creative teams at Black Fawn Distribution and A71.”
The Blu-ray/DVD release will feature director and producer commentary, behind-the-scenes featurette, an inside look at The Heretics’ European Festival Tour, and more. As part of the home video release, Black Fawn Distribution will also be offering an exclusive The Heretics Blacklist Package, which will include signed copies of the film on Blu-ray/DVD, mini lobby cards, on-screen props from the film, cast autographs, a “Summon Your Own Demon,” kit and more.
