A Creepy Ballerina Emerges in New ‘LIVID’ Poster

One of the films that entered Austin’s Fantanstic Film Fest with a lot of buzz was the follow-up film from the directors of the French splatter film Inside.  Livid, a film by Julien Maury & Alexandre Bustillo, is an entirely different type of film though.  It is one that is more interested in creepy imagery and haunted house tropes than the buckets of blood seen in their break-out hit.  You can read our early review of the film from Fantastic Fest by clicking HERE.  Judging from the first poster from the film, seen below, I will say that it gives a fair preview of what to expect in the film.

Fans of the French duo won’t have to wait for the DVD and Blu-ray for the release of Livid, as news has come out that Dimension Films has acquired the film for release.  The press release as well as a new poster for the film can be seen below.

From the Press Release:
Dimension Films has acquired French language horror film LIVID directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo from SND (Groupe M6). The film stars Marie-Claude Pietragalla, Chloe Coulloud, and Felix Moati and marks the second collaboration with Dimension Films and duo Maury and Bustillo, who previously directed INSIDE.

LIVID is a horror fairytale set during Halloween night when three youths decide to burglarize an old lady’s desolate house, but what awaits them is no ordinary house…

“We are thrilled to be back in business with Julien and Alex and couldn’t be more excited to help bring their frightening vision to fans everywhere,” said Dimension’s Bob Weinstein.

“It’s a pleasure to collaborate with such a great partner on the LIVID adventure. Dimension is the perfect fit,” declared Lionel Uzan, Director of Acquisitions and Sales of SND. LIVID is produced by Vérane Frédiani and Frank Ribière (La Fabrique 2) and co-produced by SND, Plug FX, and La Ferme.
