Oscilloscope Laboratories just picked up the U.S. distribution rights to Adrien Beau’s THE VOURDALAK, an acclaimed 18th Century vampire tale, and we’re hoping you might be interested in running the news today, alongside the film’s theatrical poster and trailer. The drama/thriller will be released exclusively in cinemas on June 28th.
Synopsis – When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behavior as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. But what begins simply as strange quickly devolves into a full-fledged nightmare when Gorcha returns, seemingly no longer himself…
Adapted from a novella that predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula by over half a century, THE VOURDALAK is an atmospheric, unexpected, sensorial experience that will leave you reeling and giddy in equal measure.
The film World Premiered in the International Critics’ Week section at the 80th Venice International Film Festival before playing dozens of European fests and opening in its native France.
