Arclight Films has acquired international rights, excluding Australia and New Zealand, to Sean Lahiff’s Australian horror thriller Carnifex from the producers of Wolf Creek 2 and is introducing it to buyers at the EFM.

The film, now in post after wrapping its Adelaide shoot, is about an aspiring documentarian and two conservationists who venture into the Outback to record animals displaced by bushfires where they discover a terrifying new species.

Arclight’s EFM slate includes The Portable Door starring Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill; thriller The Locksmith with Ryan Phillippe, Kate Bosworth and Ving Rhames; dark comedy Big Gold Brick starring Andy Garcia, Emory Cohen, Megan Fox and Oscar Isaac; and Venice selection The Furnace.
