MUMBAI: Lionsgate, a leading global entertainment company, has acquired the US and Canadian distribution rights of Your‘re Next.

Directed by Adam Wingard from a script by Simon Barrett, the film is a petrifying horror story starring Sharni Vinson, Joe Swanberg, A.J. Bowen, Nicholas Tucci and Barbara Crampton.

In Your‘re Next, during a family reunion getaway, the Davison family comes under a sadistic attack. When Crispian Davison (Bowen) brings his new girlfriend (Vinson) along to celebrate the wedding anniversary of his parents (Moran and Crampton), the family‘s evening together is shattered when a gang of mysterious killers begin to hunt the family down with brutal precision. Unfortunately for the killers however, one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.

Jason Constantine negotiated the deal on behalf of Lionsgate with Eda Kowan, SVP of Acquisitions and Co-Productions, and Wendy Jaffe, the Acquisitions and Co-Production team‘s EVP of Business & Legal Affairs.

"This project represents everything that we look for in a horror film," explains Jason Constantine, who negotiated the deal, of the company‘s decision to acquire the film. "It is a celebration of its genre, featuring top notch performances from a sophisticated script, brilliantly directed, that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats - when they‘re not jumping out of them," he added.
