Universal/Blumhouse Atomic release new pics for Horror Thriller River
The sun is down. The boat is dead. There’s no cell service. And there’s someone standing, staring, from the shore.
From the producers of Backrooms and Obsession comes a vivid, visceral new vision in the slasher genre, marking an electrifying feature-film debut by writer-director Joshua Giuliano.
River stars Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe, Evil Dead), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day films, Pulse) and Max Mattern (Cape Fear, Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy) as estranged siblings who reunite in their rural hometown after the death of their father.
As they set out to scatter his ashes at his favorite spot on a remote river, the trip devolves into a fight for survival as they are mercilessly hunted by a disturbing masked figure played by Dane DiLiegro (Prey, Only Murders in the Building).
Originally produced by IFC and Shudder to stream on Shudder, River went to the highest bidder after an overwhelmingly positive response at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival.
Jason Blum, Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Universal Pictures teamed up to beat out A24, Focus Features, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures and Netflix with a bid of over $10 million.
River slashes into theaters January 15, 2027 by way of Universal Pictures.
