Dimension Films picks up Livid, directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Exciting news for those of you anxious to see Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s followup to INSIDE – Dimension Films has just announced that they’ve picked up the rights to LIVID, the duo’s latest French-language horror film.

“We are thrilled to be back in business with Julien and Alex and couldn’t be more excited to help bring their frightening vision to fans everywhere,” said Bob Weinstein.

Though Dimension released INSIDE in the US, it’s still somewhat interesting that the studio is handling this flick; you might recall that Maury and Bustillo were in line to helm both HALLOWEEN II and HELLRAISER for Dimension before bowing out of both projects thanks to creative differences. Perhaps the Weinstein boys are hoping to make friends once again?

The synopsis: It’s young Lucy’s first day as a trainee in-house caregiver. She visits Mrs Jessel, an old woman who lies in cerebral coma, by herself, in her large desolate house. Learning by accident that Mrs Jessel, a former dance teacher of repute, supposedly possesses a treasure somewhere in the house, Lucy and friends William and Ben decide to search the house in the hope of finding it. At night, they get into the house, which reveals itself to be increasingly peculiar. Their hunt for Mrs Jessel’s treasure leads them into a horrifying supernatural series of events that will change Lucy forever…

The film stars Marie-Claude Pietragalla, Catherine Jacob, Béatrice Dalle, Chloé Coulloud, Felix Moati and Jeremy Kapone. There’s no release date set just yet.
