Shudder and Utopia Move Into ‘The Scary of Sixty-First’
Shudder and sales and distribution firm Utopia have picked up Dasha Nekrasova’s horror debut The Scary of Sixty-First, says Deadline.
The film, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, sees two roommates’ lives upended after finding out that their new Manhattan apartment harbors a dark secret.
Here’s where it gets strange: “The narrative takes a sinister turn after they discover it was once owned by the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.”
Nekrasova stars in the film with Betsey Brown, Madeline Quinn and Mark Rapaport.
Indiewire calls the film “an unforgettable Eyes Wide Shut revision for the QAnon age.”
Shudder has taken SVOD rights in North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, while Utopia has picked up remaining rights. Utopia will release the film in theaters and on digital later this year.
