River, the IFC title that Universal and Blumhouse Atomic Monster acquired out of TIFF Midnight Madness for $10M, is getting a Friday, Jan. 15, 2027 theatrical release.

River stands at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes with critics. Pic stars Jane Levy (Evil Dead), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) and Max Mattern (Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy). Pic was written and directed by Joshua Giuliano. Three estranged siblings reunite in their 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 waking nightmare. Dane DiLiegro (Prey) also stars in the film.
