David Farnor | On 25, Jan 2024
Netflix has acquired the rights to Sundance breakout horror hit It’s What’s Inside.
The film follows a pre-wedding party, which descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend shows up with a mysterious suitcase.
The film stars Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Devon Terrell, Gavin Leatherwood, Reina Hardesty, Nina Bloomgarden and David Thompson.
It’s directed by Greg Jardin, who makes his feature debut with the project, and produced by William Rosenfeld, Kate Andrews, Jason Baum and Raúl Domingo, with exec-producers including Colman Domingo, Ulf Ek and Robert Kapp.
The film had its world premiere in Sundance’s Midnight Section, making it one of the festival’s buzziest titles. Netflix’s acquisition was reportedly an eight-figure deal, the second after Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain sold to Searchlight for $$10 million.
