Both Award Winning Films to Stream on SCREAMBOX

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse (NASDAQ:CNVS), a next-gen entertainment studio, and Bloody Disgusting, its horror division, have announced the acquisition of two films for its SCREAMBOX platform. Both acquired from XYZ Films, these films are Breathing In, 2024 Macabro: Mexico City International Horror Film Festival's Best Film winner, and the nightmare-inducing exorcism horror Deus Irae, an official selection of the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and Winner of the Sitges Film Festival Pitchbox.

Breathing In is set in 1901, South Africa. A wounded general seeks refuge in the small home of a woman and her young daughter. Before long, he'll learn the real reason why they've invited him and how they've survived on their own for so long. Jaco Bouwer directs this beautifully shot and tense horror thriller that stars Michele Burgers, Sven Ruygrok and Jamie-Lee Money.

Deus Irae follows disturbed Father Javier, who assists families that have witnessed miracles, while being part of a trio of excommunicated priests who hunt the possessed down with Bibles, fire and shotguns. Award-winning Pedro Cristiani directs this feverish descent to hell, with fully practical creature effects and starring Pablo Ragoni, Gastón Ricaud and Sabrina Macchi.

The deals were negotiated by Executive Director, Acquisitions, Brandon Hill on behalf of Cineverse with Pip Ngo on behalf of XYZ Films and filmmakers.

They join other recent acquisitions on SCREAMBOX such as #AMFAD, Creeping Death, Haunted Ulster Live, Cryptids and Devon.
