On the heels of the South African filmmaker revealing that he had begun development on a follow-up to his 2009 hit sci-fi pic District 9, IFC Midnight has announced that it has acquired the rights to Neill Blomkamp’s forthcoming supernatural horror film Demonic.
IFC Midnight has slated the film for an August 20.
“It’s exciting to work together on this highly anticipated new vision, and be immersed in yet another world terrifyingly similar to our own.”
The film, written and directed by Blomkamp, centers on a young woman who unleashes terrifying demons when the supernatural forces at the root of a decades-old rift between mother and daughter are ruthlessly revealed.
