UK sales outfit Blue Finch Films has acquired international sales rights, excluding North America, to home invasion thriller Barbarians, the directorial debut from The Lost Daughter’s UK producer, Charles Dorfman.
IFC Midnight is releasing the film in North America, in theatres and on demand, on April 1.
The UK feature premiered at the US’ Fantastic Fest 2021 and follows two couples celebrating a birthday with an intimate dinner party, which is then interrupted by an unexpected knock at the door. Iwan Rheon, Tom Cullen, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Connor Swindells star.
Dorfman’s other producing credits include Ramin Bahrani documentary 2nd Chance, set to premiere later this month at Sundance. He has also written and produced Barbarians, with Jason Newmark and Laurie Cook producing on behalf of London-based Samuel Marshall Films – which also produced The Lost Daughter.
