Earlier today, news broke that director Mickey Reece’s film festival hit “Agnes” was picked up by Magnet Releasing for worldwide distribution.

The film is making the rounds at a few festivals but will come to home video and streaming on December 10th.

In Agnes, a nun’s disturbing behavior at a remote convent sparks rumors of demonic possession. When a priest-in-waiting and his disillusioned mentor are sent to investigate, their methods backfire, leaving a wake of terror and trauma.

The film stars Molly Quinn, Jake Horowitz, Sean Gunn, Chris Sullivan, Chris Browning, Ben Hall, Mary Buss, and Rachel True.

“Mickey Reece has delivered a truly original, truly disquieting work with Agnes,” said Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles.

“I am thrilled to be releasing Agnes with Magnolia,” said Reece. I have long admired their enthusiasm for eclectic genre cinema, and I respect so many of the filmmakers that they’ve previously worked with. It is quite surreal for me to have one of my films join such an esteemed lineage of movies. It’s the perfect home for the film.”

Directed by Reece, Agnes was written by John Selvidge and Reece. The film was produced by Jensine Carr for Divide/Conquer, Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty, and Elan Gale for QWGmire, and Jacob Snovel. Executive producers are Quinn, Welty, and Gale for QWGmire, Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath for Divide/Conquer, and Zac Locke.
