Watch the Trailer for THE DEVIL'S CHILD: "Having been appointed residential carer to the elderly renown psychic Phillip Hallewell, a young nurse Cherry Holly is driven by her girlfriends Maria and Sara to a rendezvous point far on the outskirts of town. There, she is met by a reserved young man, Dwayne, the Hallewell’s faithful servant who drives Cherry, without stopping late into the night, to the remote Hallewell estate.
Reaching the dark, gothic mansion, Cherry is greeted by the cold and enigmatic Naomi Hallewell who leads her upstairs to meet her father. Cherry is taken aback by thesight of the comatose thin old man with opaque eyes and blistered skin. Naomi explains she will be leaving her father entirely in Cherry’s care; bedridden and suffering from a skin condition, he needs regular blood infusions and can withstand only exposure to the dimmest of light. Dwayne will stay with Cherry in the house and can drive into town for anything she needs.
Over the coming weeks, Cherry intimately cares for Philip washing him and dressing his wounds, but finds herself suffering increasingly from nightmares depicting the torments she suffered at the orphanage as a child. As Dwayne and Cherry grow closer, he shows her the old Hallewell family photograph albums with Philip as a handsome young pianist; yet those of Philip’s sister have, for some reason, been expunged.
At night, Philip draws on his ancestral psychic powers to visit Cherry in her dreams, seducing her as his youthful self and manipulating Cherry and Dwayne for his own amusement. Discovering a hidden portrait of her grandmother, Cherry realizes her own connection to the Hallewell family and suspects that her presence in the house is not a coincidence.
Yet, it is only when Cherry’s girlfriends, Maria and Sara, pay her an surprise visit, the true terror of their situation is revealed, as Philip unleashes his power and Cherry discovers she cannot escape the house and her destiny with the Hallewells, preordained since birth."

AGFA and Shout! Factory Announce Theatrical Distribution of Werner Herzog's Films and More: "The American Genre Film Archive, the largest non-profit genre film archive and distributor in the world, is excited to announce new additions to their ongoing theatrical partnership with Shout! Factory, a multi-platform media company. AGFA will distribute 16 restorations from incomparable filmmaker Werner Herzog -- as well as 75 additional titles from Shout! Factory’s cult classic movie library -- to theaters in 2021. This is the latest collaboration between AGFA and Shout! Factory following their theatrical distribution partnership in 2019.
From FITZCARRALDO to NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE, Werner Herzog has blurred the line between fiction, documentary, and genre, creating a body of work that has established him as one of the most daring and visionary filmmakers of our lifetime. It’s no surprise that French New Wave legend Francois Truffaut once called Herzog “the greatest filmmaker alive today.”
“Werner Herzog as a person is extremely well known and loved, but he is first and foremost a filmmaker -- one of the greatest,” said AGFA’s Executive Director Alicia Coombs. “It's an honor to work with Shout! Factory to bring Herzog's catalog back to theaters so audiences can see his films as they're meant to be seen."
The full list of Werner Herzog titles from Shout! Factory that are distributed by AGFA:
AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD
BATTLE OF THE LITTLE SOLDIER
COBRA VERDE
ENIGMA OF KASPAR HAUSER
EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL

In addition, AGFA has curated 75 new titles from Shout’s movie catalog to reissue in theaters throughout the year. These movies include cult fan favorites such as THE LAWNMOWER MAN, early queer cinema triumph THE LEATHER BOYS, deep-cut horror blasts like Carol Frank’s SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE, John Carpenter’s DARK STAR, and seminal Black cinema milestones such as TNT JACKSON.
