Nearly a year ago, we heard that Crypt TV, an entertainment company that was launched in 2015 by Jack Davis and Eli Roth, with Blumhouse Productions on board as an investor, was putting together it first domestic feature film: a new take on Mary Shelley’s classic story Frankenstein that would be called The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. Now Variety reports that The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster has secured a distribution deal with Rlje Films and its sister brands under AMC Networks, Shudder and AllBlk. Rlje will be giving the film a theatrical release sometime this summer, then later in the year it will be streaming on Shudder and AllBlk.

The film will be having its world premiere at the SXSW festival next month.

Ahead of its world premiere at SXSW, Rlje Films and its sister brands under AMC Networks have acquired the North American rights to the horror/thriller, “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster.” Those brands include Shudder and AllBlk, all of which share a parent company. The horror-thriller is debuting in the Austin-based festival’s “Visions” category, a special program that “champions audacious, risk-taking artists in the new cinema landscape.”

The movie follows a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured. After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, the teen embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life. It’s a journey inspired by Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.”

Rlje will release the film in theaters this summer. Shudder and Allblk will follow with streaming debuts later in 2023.

The film is the directorial debut of Bomani J. Story, who also penned the script.
