“Archangel,” the upcoming supernatural horror marking the feature directorial debut of screenwriter and comic book scribe Bryan Hill, is heading to the European Film Market.
The latest genre feature from the increasingly prolific collaboration between Spooky Pictures and Image Nation, “Archangel” stars Conor Leslie (“Titans,” “The Man in The High Castle”), Greg Hovanessian (“Cardinal”) and Alyshia Ochse (“True Detective”), with Azure Parsons (“The Astronauts Wives Club”) and Trevor Riley (“Animal Kingdom”) rounding out the key cast.
The film, currently in post-production and slate for a Q4 2026 release, centers on a privately funded organization researching life after death that is targeted by an ancient entity trying to prevent mankind from understanding the supernatural.
Spooky Pictures-Image Nation and AGC International will launch international sales in Berlin with Cinetic handling U.S. rights.
“Archangel” is produced by Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (“It”) and Steven Schneider (“Insidious”), Derek Dauchy (“Late Night with the Devil”), and Kevlar Creative’s Julius Pryor and Bryan Hill. Executive producers are Image Nation’s Ben Ross and Spooky Pictures’ Rami Yasin.T
The film is the first Spooky Pictures-Image Nation project to be based on a graphic novel series. Developed by Hill, the graphic novel will be released alongside the movie and will expand the “Archangel” universe.
The co-production partnership between Spooky Pictures and Image Nation has resulted in breakout hit “Last Night With the Devil” and the Cannes-bowing “The Plague.” Upcoming projects include “The Shepherd,” starring and produced by David Dastmalchian; Chloe Okuno‘s psychological thriller “Watcher”; Damian McCarthy’s supernatural horror movie “Hokum” starring Adam Scott and acquired by Neon and Randall Okita’s “Menace” starring Isabel May. The companies recently acquired the “V/H/S” horror anthology franchise.
