AUCKLAND – May 13, 2022 – Shudder, AMC Network’s premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural,
has acquired Revealer, the feature debut from Emmy® Award-winning director Luke Boyce. The film, which made its U.S. premiere at Kansas
City’s Panic Fest, stars Caito Aase (Black Mold) who won the fest’s Audience Award for Best Actress and Shaina Schrooten (Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge) and will be available exclusively on Shudder in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand
on Thursday, June 23.
Said Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder, “Luke Boyce has crafted a darkly funny and surprisingly moving
apocalyptic horror that we can't wait to share with Shudder members.”
“We made Revealer as the entire shift of the world changed beneath our feet and we responded to that creatively. It is a movie that's
wild and scary, but also heartfelt and emotional. It's a neon-drenched, horror-filled call for connectedness and we are
so incredibly excited to have teamed up with Shudder, a platform and community I love dearly, as the perfect home to
share it with the world," added director Luke Boyce.
In Revealer, what started off as a typical Chicago workday in 1987 for Angie Pittarelli (Aase), a dancer at the Revealers Bookstore
peep show booth, turns tragic when her annoying boss is suddenly killed in an uprising outside the store leaving her
trapped in the booth, unable to escape. Soon she learns that hiding out in the booth next to hers is none other than
Sally Mewbourne (Schrooten), an overzealous religious protester that seems to get a kick out of regularly harassing
Angie. Sally is in a panic claiming that the rapture has occurred and the apocalypse has begun. With nowhere left to
turn Angie and Sally must separate their differences and come together to fight this unknown evil, navigating the
treacherous bootlegger tunnels below the store to survive the unthinkable.
Revealer is written by comic authors Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Revival) and Michael Moreci (Barbaric, The Plot) and produced by Shatterglass Films and The Line Film Co. along with a number of genre mainstays including Sarah Sharp,
Robert Patrick Stern and Brett Hays. Aaron B. Koontz rounds out the producing team under his Paper Street Pictures
banner.
The deal was negotiated by Aaron B. Koontz on behalf of the filmmakers, and Emily Gotto, VP, Global Acquisitions & Co-Productions on behalf of Shudder.About Shudder
