With shades of THE FLY meets PRIMER, Eron Sheean’s new bodily chiller ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY has parlayed its Fantasia Fest screening into a sweet distro-deal. Word is IFC Midnight, the monopoly of all things genre VOD, has scooped rights to the flick.
While no dates have yet been assigned, a new synopsis has. Peep it below:
Seeking a new laboratory to pursue his controversial genetic research, Dr Geoff Burton takes up a position at the world-renowned Institute for Molecular Cell Biology & Genetics in wintry Dresden, Germany. His contribution to their most top-secret project – a human regeneration gene – has the potential to make something extraordinary out of a personal tragedy that has haunted him for years. But when he uncovers a conspiracy amongst his colleagues, he finds instead something quite different: a terrifying new virus, with potentially both devastating and miraculous consequences for humanity – and for Geoff, who is not only its first victim, but its unwitting source.
Michael Eklund, Rik Mayall, Karoline Herfurth (below) and Tómas Lemarquis all appear in the flick, which next competes in this year’s Fantastic Fest gala.
