Cleopatra Entertainment Acquires Supernatural Tribute to 70s Gothic Horror Films, 'Skin Walker'!

Do you really know the skin you walk in?...

---

...Via Deadline, Cleopatra Entertainment has acquired North American rights to director ​Christian Neuman's Skin Walker! According to the site, the film is "a horror indie that is a tribute to the great European horror movies of the 1970s...described as a mix of mixes gothic images, supernatural terror and psychological drama."

​In Skin Walker: 

"Regine, a psychologically fragile young woman, is hiding away in the city, far from the dark and forbidding countryside of her traumatic childhood. She's struggling to construct the loving family she never had, and to rise above the events of the past: above all, the disastrous home birth of her brother Isaac, which led to her mother's insanity and Isaac's apparent death. But the city is tense and hostile, and contains its own threats. An abusive relationship with the controlling psychiatrist who's treating her mother is already blighting Regine's life when the brutal murder of her grandmother raises a crucial question: is Isaac still alive, and looking for revenge against a family which he feels has rejected him? Driven to heal the wounds of the past and to reunite her family by connecting with the brother she's never met, Regine must return to the site of her previous traumas and confront the true source of her family's guilt. It could make sense of her life - or throw it into unending chaos."

The film stars Udo Kier (Blade), Jefferson Hall (Halloween) and Amber Anderson (In Darkness).

Skin Walker will see a limited theatrical release in select U.S. theaters late this summer, followed by a VOD and DVD release during the fall.
