This past January, Netflix acquired Sundance title “Its What’s Inside” for a whopping $17 million. The horror film played the Midnight section of the fest, but most believed that the streamer overpaid for a film that only got decent reviews.
Nine months later, the first trailer has finally been released, and in what will surely disappoint film purists, Variety reported that “It’s What’s Inside” will not be playing in theaters and will instead land directly on Netflix October 4.
Directed by Greg Jardin, the film tackles a pre-wedding party that descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend shows up with a mysterious suitcase that awakens long-hidden secrets, desires, and grudges.
The film stars Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Devon Terrell, Gavin Leatherwood, Reina Hardesty, Nina Bloomgarden and David Thompson.
