Kuso is the latest all-rights acquisition for Shudder, following recent premieres of critically acclaimed meta-slasher Lake Bodom, Nordic-noir-meets-woodland-horror series Jordskott, and horror comedy Prevenge.
The film, which made a brain-melting splash at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, marks the feature directorial debut from Steve, the filmmaking alter-ego of Steve Ellison, better known as music producer, DJ and rapper Flying Lotus.
As an artist, renaissance man and auteur in the making, Steve’s work has been compared to the work of David Lynch and Matthew Barney.
