SHUDDER NABS OFFICIAL FANTASIA FESTIVAL SELECTION, ‘MOLOCH’ - WILL PREMIERE ON THE STREAMING SERVICE JULY 21

The modern folk horror film, MOLOCH, has been acquired by AMC’s premium streaming service, Shudder, and will be available exclusively in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand on July 21, 2022.

The debut film from Dutch director Nico van den Brink, was an official selection of the Fantasia International Film Festival and follows 38-year-old Betriek, who lives at the edge of a peat bog in the North of the Netherlands. When she and her family are attacked by a random stranger one night, Betriek sets out to find an explanation. The more she digs, the more she becomes convinced that she is being hunted by something ancient.

”I’m extremely excited to be working with Shudder in bringing Moloch to horror-lovers worldwide. The film will have a wonderful home there. I know we have some very creepy stories to tell in the Netherlands and I'm really looking forward to inviting Shudder's diverse and international audience into the unique world of local Dutch folklore,” said van den Brink in a press release.

The film was written by van den Brink and Daan Bakker, and stars Sallie Harmsen (Blade Runner 2049, Catch) and Alexandre Willaume (The Wheel of Time, The Last Kingdom) and is produced by Sabine Brian and Ronald Versteeg. XYZ Films are Executive Producers and handle worldwide sales on the project.
