IFC Midnight abducts U.S. rights to The Vicious Brothers’ Extraterrestrial

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz, the duo known as The Vicious Brothers, burst onto the scene with 2011's GRAVE ENCOUNTERS, a fun but flawed found footage offering that garnered them some attention, leading to 2012's sequel GRAVE ENCOUNTERS 2, a better-than-expected sequel that proved The Vicious Brothers were certainly a duo to keep an eye on. Now their latest flick, the sci-fi horror EXTRATERRESTRIAL, has just scored U.S. distribution with The Hollywood Reporter sharing that IFC Midnight has scooped up the flick from Vicarious Entertainment, Twin Engine Films and Buffalo Films.

Directed by Minihan, the film, which played the Tribeca Film Festival, stars Brittany Allen, Freddie Stroma, Jesse Moss, Melanie Papalia, Gil Bellows and Michael Ironside, and concerns…

…a group of friends on a weekend trip to an inevitable cabin in the woods where they find themselves terrorized by aliens.

Shawn Angelski and Martin Fisher produced along with Twin Engine films and Pink Buffalo Films. Vicarious Entertainment’s Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis and Terry Dougas financed and are executive producers, along with Randy Manis through his ManisFilm.

EXTRATERRESTRIAL will be hitting theaters and VOD later this year.
