IFC Midnight is acquiring the horror film We Need To Do Something directed by Sean King O’Grady in his debut narrative feature and written by Max Booth III, based on his novella of the same name. The film stars Sierra McCormick (The Vast of Night), Vinessa Shaw (Hocus Pocus, Eyes Wide Shut), Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills, The Innkeepers), John James Cronin (NOS4A2), and newcomer Lisette Alexis.
We Need To Do Something is set to have its world premiere in the Midnight Section at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, and IFC Midnight will release the film later this year in theaters and on demand.
This film follows Melissa and her family as they seek shelter from a storm and become trapped. With no sign of rescue, hours turn to days and Melissa comes to realize that she and her girlfriend Amy might have something to do with the horrors that threaten to tear her family – and the entire world – apart.
Director Sean King O’Grady added, “It amazes me that anyone would be willing to distribute the hilariously sick film we concocted to exorcise our own personal pandemic demons, but we are all excited to have bold and passionate partners in IFC Midnight to bring this insane movie to unsuspecting audiences all over North America.”
