Overview

• The feature debut from Hannibal and Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller had its world premiere in TIFF’s Midnight Madness program following the trailer’s release.
• Mads Mikkelsen reunites with Fuller alongside Sophie Sloan as Aurora, with Sigourney Weaver and David Dastmalchian in supporting roles.
• The story follows a 10-year-old who hires her hitman neighbor to kill a monster she believes ate her family, keeping the threat’s true nature purposefully ambiguous.
• Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will distribute the film, produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, with U.S. theaters targeted for December 5 (one outlet cites December 12).
• Festival write-ups describe a colorful, whimsical-meets-macabre aesthetic with action-forward set pieces that position the film as a family-adjacent gateway horror.
