One lucky horror story will be getting the opportunity to be shown on the big screen before becoming a part ofShudder’s streaming catalog. According toVariety,The Devil’s Bathwill premiere in selectlocations over the course of this month, giving audiences the opportunity to dive deep into the world of the horror title before being able to enjoy it from the comfort of their homes. New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, New York City and Los Angeles will be some of the locations that will host the limited screenings forThe Devil’s Bath.
The premise ofThe Devil’s Bathfollows Agnes (Anja Plaschg), a religious woman who gets married in 1750. But what will be shown on the screen won’t be a love story. The protagonist of the movie will quickly feel trapped under the unreasonably demanding obligations of her new life, leading Agnes to commit explosive acts of violence as an emotional outlet. Taking into account how Shudder has become famous by releasing titles such asYou’ll Never Find Me, it would’ve been easy to guess that Agnes' marriage was always going to establish a horrifying twist to the situation.
Veronika FranzandSeverin Fialaare the filmmakers behindThe Devil’s Bath. The directors will be attending theAlamo Drafthousescreenings for their title which are supposed to take place in Los Angeles and New York City, taking their time to answer questions from the audience after they get to experienceThe Devil’s Bathfor the first time. Before finding themselves involved with Agnes and the fateful consequences of her marriage, Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala worked on projects such asThe Lodge. The horror story followed Grace Marshall (Riley Keough) after years of living in a cult. The narrative ofThe Devil’s Bathwill be very different from what the directors have worked on before, but it will still keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
