"HOUSE OF ABRAHAM" (2025) Gets Picked Up By ABRAMORAMA With Theatrical Run This June!
As festival season is starting up, so are announcements around acquisitions! While the average genre fan may not be privy to these festival features (to be clear, most festivals allow anyone to attend, but they can be cost-prohibitive), so films getting picked up by distributors can mean a lot not just for fans, but for the filmmakers. In fact, some of our favorite films are often indies that started on the festival circuit. Hell, that’s where most Shudder Originals and other streaming service original content comes from, but nevertheless, the ability to be seen by wider swaths often relies heavily on being acquired.
Thankfully, more indie films are getting picked up and we are happy to share the news that “House of Abraham,” Directed and Produced by Lisa Belcher has been picked up by Abrarmorama and is set to begin a theatrical run in New York City on June 13, 2025. Check out the information from the press release below, and we hope to bring you more coverage as it becomes available!
From The Press Release
Abramorama announced today that it has acquired American theatrical distribution rights for HOUSE OF ABRAHAM, a gripping horror/thriller starring Natasha Henstridge (SPECIES), Lin Shaye (INSIDIOUS), and Lukas Hassel (“The Blacklist”), directed by Lisa Belcher. HOUSE OF ABRAHAM follows a woman looking for an end to her suffering. She checks into the House of Abraham, home to a mysterious cult that promises a way out. She soon discovers all is not what it seems and must plan an escape before it's too late. HOUSE OF ABRAHAM, marks the feature film directing debut of award-winning short filmmaker Lisa Belcher. Director Lisa Belcher shares
“This film dares to tackle themes often overlooked by mainstream studios, resulting in a film that is both daring and thought-provoking. Filmed in Austin, Texas, our close-knit cast and crew poured their hearts into this project, and I am beyond excited to share our labor of love with the world.”
Haunted by her childhood memories of finding her mother dead, a conflicted Dee (Natasha Henstridge) arrives at a mysterious secluded property looking for answers. Upon checking in, she meets six other weekend guests there for the same reason as herself — ending their lives with the assistance of the enigmatic host, Abraham (Lukas Hassel). Abraham assures everyone that their deaths will happen under his guidance, cleanly, safely, and most importantly, lovingly. When someone is ready to end their life, they will ring the bell of death outside, gathering everyone for their end. As he states: Life is not for everyone. He informs the guests that they are, of course, free to change their minds and leave if they so choose. When Dee stumbles upon evidence that a fellow guest has mysteriously disappeared, leaving all his things behind, she has the chilling realization that Abraham lied. No one leaves the House alive. A final confrontation between Dee and Abraham leads to a twist that no one can foresee. The future of the House of Abraham is on the line and the stakes are truly life and death.
HOUSE OF ABRAHAM will begin its theatrical run in New York City on June 13th at LOOK Dine-in Cinema before continuing a national rollout.
