HANDLING THE UNDEAD Headed To Digital This July
Following its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, HANDLING THE UNDEAD has gone on to garner critical praise the world-over, earned itself a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes and now its being fast-tracked to video-on-demand platforms to rent and buy from July 31 in Australia.
On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families, a story about grief and loss, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control.
HANDLING THE UNDEAD is the feature debut of writer/director Thea Hvistendahl, from a screenplay co-penned with John Ajvide Lindqvist, author and screenwriter of the critically acclaimed films LET THE RIGHT ONE IN & BORDER.
Featuring an exceptional cast, that reunites 2021 Cannes Film Festival “Best Actress” award-winner Renate Reinsve with Anders Danielsen Lie, stars of the Oscar-nominated THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD.
