Following its world premiere at the 2024 Sitges Film Festival and ahead of its U.S. premiere at Cinequest Film Festival this weekend, Shudder has acquired home invasion horror Push from filmmakers David Charbonier and Justin Powell (The Boy Behind the Door, Djinn).
Starring Alicia Sanz (El Cid) and Raúl Castillo (Smile 2), Push was also written by Charbonier and Powell, and follows:
Natalie Flores (Sanz), a pregnant realtor who is attacked by a sadistic killer (Castillo) at her open house, sending her into premature labor. Up against a physiological ticking clock, Natalie must find a way to escape before she gives birth.
In a statement, Shudder's Head of Programming Sam Zimmerman had this to say of the genre streaming giant's new acquisition:
“With Push, David and Justin continue to hone their spectacular skill for intimate, visceral suspense […] After The Boy Behind the Door, we are thrilled to reteam with the dynamic duo on this frightening and surprising new spin on the home invasion genre.”
Push is produced by Ryan Scaringe (Eradicated, Detained) and executive produced by Amy Lippens, Jilbert Daniel, Del Charbonier, Sanz and Castillo.
