While it's exciting to see presents nestled safely under the tree every holiday season, it's often just as thrilling to find new holiday horror movies hung with care on streaming services and home video. With their recent North American acquisition of All the Creatures Were Stirring (directed by Rebekah McKendry and David Ian McKendry), RLJE Films is giving us a new Christmas horror movie to unwrap, as we can look forward to a December 4th VOD, Digital, and DVD release of the festive film:

Press Release: LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2018 – RLJE Films has acquired all North American rights to the upcoming horror film All the Creatures Were Stirring. Written and directed by David Ian McKendry (The Dump) and Rebekah McKendry (The Barista), known for their amazing work at Fangoria and Blumhouse, the film stars Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians, “Fresh Off the Boat”), Amanda Fuller (“Orange is the New Black”), Jonathan Kite (“2 Broke Girls”), Jocelin Donahue (Insidious: Chapter 2) and Graham Skipper (The Mind’s Eye). RLJE plans to release the film on VOD, Digital and DVD on December 4, 2018.

“With scares, laughs and stars from some of the top releases this year, including Constance Wu in Crazy Rich Asians and Amanda Fuller in “Orange is the New Black,” All the Creatures Were Stirring  has it all,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Mark Ward. “We’re excited to see how horror fans react to this new holiday horror classic from David and Rebekah McKendry.”

In All the Creatures Were Stirring, an awkward date on Christmas Eve leads a couple into a strange theater, where they're treated to a bizarre and frightening collection of Christmas stories, featuring a wide ensemble of characters doing their best to avoid the horrors of the holidays. From boring office parties and last-minute shopping, to vengeful stalkers and immortal demons, there's plenty out there to fear this holiday season.

All the Creatures Were Stirring was produced by Morgan Peter Brown and

Joe Wicker of FallBack Plan Productions (Absentia) and was executive produced by Kevin Kale.

Ward and Jess De Leo from RLJE negotiated the deal with Morgan Peter Brown and Joe Wicker on behalf of the filmmakers.
