The Orchard Acquires Gothic Thriller ‘Them That Follow’ Out of Sundance
One Sundance film that slipped under our radar is the Gothic thriller Them That Follow, which apparently digresses into a body horror film.
1091 Media’s The Orchard – who also released Bloody Disgusting’s Southbound – acquired North American rights to Britt Poulton and Dan Madison Savage’s Appalachian thriller, reports Deadline.
Starring Oscar-nominated The Favourite actress Olivia Colman, Them That Follow follows members of an isolated community of Pentecostal snake handlers led by Pastor Lemuel (Walton Goggins) who risk their lives to attest themselves before God. Lemuel’s daughter Mara (Alice Englert) prepares for her wedding to the young believer her father has singled out for her under the watchful eye of Hope (Colman), while scrambling to hide a secret that has the potential to drive her father’s church to ruin.
Kaitlyn Dever, Jim Gaffigan, Thomas Mann and Lewis Pullman also star. The pic marks Poulton and Savage’s feature directorial debut.
