Neon has acquired the North American and UK distribution rights to a film called “Handling the Undead” that will reunite the distributor with its stars from “The Worst Person in the World,” Renate Reinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie.
“Handling the Undead” is the feature directorial debut of Thea Hvistendahl and is based on a book by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who is the author of horror classics that have also been adapted into features “Let the Right One In” and “Border.”
The film is currently shooting and no specific release date plans were revealed. Here’s the full synopsis:
On an abnormally hot summer day in Oslo, a strange electric field surrounds the city as a collective migraine spreads across town.
