Formerly known as 18 & Over, the erotic “pandemic slasher” starring Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars) is now going by the title Alone at Night – and Deadline reports that Vertical Entertainment has acquired the North American distribution rights to the film, with their plan being to give it a theatrical and VOD release on January 20th. Alone at Night was previously released as a $263 NFT back in August.
Other Angle Pictures has acquired the international rights to the film.
Alone at Night stars and was produced by Benson, who is also credited with creating the project with writer/director Jimmy Giannopolous and co-writer Diomedes Raul Bermudez. Benson takes on the role of Vicky, who’s looking for an escape after going through a relationship breakup. While in a remote cabin, she models lingerie for her followers on an adults-only livestreaming website (called 18 & Over) — before the power goes out… and she’s terrorized by a masked, crowbar-wielding murderer.
Benson is joined in the cast by Jon Foster, Jake Weary, Sky Ferreira, Luis Guzman, Winnie Harlow, G Eazy, Duke Nicholson, A$AP Nast, John Robinson, Paris Hilton, and Pamela Anderson. G Eazy also composed the film’s score.
Alone at Night was also produced by Purpose Film’s Bermudez and Artemis Pictures’ Siena Oberman, plus Cassius Corrigan. Jamin O’Brien is executive producer.
I’m glad to hear that Alone at Night is going to be receiving a traditional release soon, and I’ll probably check it out when it’s available in January. The trailer shows Ashley Benson wearing a Jason Voorhees-style hockey mask, so the movie is appealing directly to me with that imagery. But in the meantime, I sit here hoping that we’ll be hearing a similar announcement about Kevin Smith’s NFT horror movie Killroy Was Here soon.
