Director Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW II – SAW IV) is one busy mofo. It seems he has a new film hitting every six months. Not that we're complaining at all. I say keep making them and we'll keep watching.
Speaking of which, Bousman's new female-driven psychological horror film ST. AGATHA has just sold it's worldwide sales rights to Octane Entertainment.
Octane president Jack Campbell on ST. AGATHA:
This is exactly the type of project our clients have been looking for – a female-driven, elevated genre film with pedigree that is well-crafted throughout. We’ve seen huge successes in this arena lately, most recently with Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. From the writing to the acting to the directing and execution – St. Agatha is a cut above anything that I’ve seen in a long time.

The film stars Sabrina Kern, Carolyn Hennesy, Courtney Halverson, Trin Miller and Seth Michaels.
