RLJE Films Buys ‘The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster’ Ahead of SXSW Debut (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comBrent Lang Executive Editor Ahead of its world premiere at SXSW, RLJE Films and its sister brands under AMC Networks have acquired the North American rights to the horror/thriller, “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster.” Those brands include Shudder and AllBlk, all of which share a parent company.
The horror-thriller is debuting in the Austin-based festival’s “Visions” category, a special program that “champions audacious, risk-taking artists in the new cinema landscape.” The movie follows a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured.
After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, the teen embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life. It’s a journey inspired by Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” RLJE will release the film in theaters this summer.
Shudder and ALLBLK will follow with streaming debuts later in 2023. The film is the directorial debut of Bomani J. Story, who also penned the script.
