“With this movie, I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and re-create the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences,” Roberts explained.

The premiere date was revealed by Chad Rook on Twitter, who is playing Richard Aiken. Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems is handling domestic distribution of the movie, while Constantin Film is handling German-speaking regions.
