Con-Nun Horror ‘St. Agatha’ Finds Asylum at Uncork’d Entertainment

Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired all North American rights to St. Agatha, the most recent film from gore auteur Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III, IV,). The female-driven psychological horror film premiered at the Overlook Film Festival in April.

Written by Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels, and Clint Sears, St. Agatha is set in 1950’s Georgia, and fixes on a pregnant con woman who is on the run and seeks refuge in a convent.

What first starts out as the perfect place to have a child turns into a dark lair where silence is forced, ghastly secrets are masked, and every bit of will power Agatha has is tested as she learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.

“With brilliant direction from one of the new masters of horror and a unique and chilling script that features strong female characters, we’re certain audiences are going to really embrace St. Agatha”  -Uncork’d Entertainment President Keith Leopard

“We are extremely excited to be teaming up with Uncork’d on the North American release for St. Agatha,” adds Campbell. “The capable hands of Keith and his team give us the confidence that this film will have a very successful release.”

I haven’t said nunsploitiation in a while, and I couldn’t be more excited.

St. Agatha will release theatrically and on digital first quarter 2019.
