Romain Basset’s Horsehead is a film we’ve been talking about for a while now, and although it’s not being released Stateside until June, Canadian horror fans can check it out in just a few days when it hits DVD, iTunes, VOD, and Limited Edition Blu-ray. To help build anticipation further, Black Fawn Distribution has unveiled a brand new poster plus a clip from the film.

BFD is releasing Horsehead in Canada on May 5, 2015; look for it in the United States on June 23rd thorough Artsploitation Films and in Germany via Donau Film. It was written by up and coming French filmmaker Basset, who also directed, and Karim Chériguène. Lilly-Fleur Pointeaux, Catriona MacColl, and Murray Head star.

 “HORSEHEAD captured me from the very first frame of the film,” states BFD owner Chad Archibald. “It really is a beautiful nightmare that has been gathering some outstanding reviews from around the world. We’re so honored to be releasing such an amazing piece of horror.”

The film will also mark Black Fawn Distribution’s first foray into HD as the company plans to release it both through iTunes and as an exclusive 2-disc limited edition Blu-ray that includes a crystal clear 1080p transfer, a copy of the haunting soundtrack, an hour long behind-the-scenes documentary featuring cast and crew interviews, and the original uncensored trailer.

Synopsis:
Plagued by recurring nightmares since childhood, Jessica has begun studying the psycho-physiology of dreams in an attempt to understand their meaning. When her grandmother dies, Jessica returns to her family home in the French countryside, where she receives a muted reception from her icy mother.

After a difficult first night, Jessica becomes feverish and uses her bedridden state to practice the art of lucid dreaming. Jessica soon learns that her grandmother had been obsessed with the same evil apparition that now haunts her own nightmares. As Jessica’s skills as a lucid dreamer improve, she discovers that dark secrets run deep in her bloodline and that they all lead to the monstrous Horsehead.
