"Jimmy"
Incredible Film to globally distribute supernatural horror film "Jimmy" (85’) from neo-horror producers Bloodrave and it will feature it in AFM market.
Directed by Bloodrave co-founder David-Jan Bronsgeest and written by co-founder Tim Koomen, "Jimmy" is the story of convicted killer Jim, who uses a true crime podcast to take revenge on a group of friends. Bloodrave landed a deal in 2018 with Paramount Pictures when the rights to their short horror film "Meet Jimmy" (the short prequel to "Jimmy") were sold, and with Spyglass, who bought the rights to their supernatural boogeyman short "Mr. Lonely."
In "Jimmy", when one of Dilara’s childhood friends is murdered, she returns to her hometown and starts to suspect that the well known village local Jim is out to get revenge on her group of friends. Using a true-crime podcast, Jimmy targets the group: the longer they listen to it, the greater the risk that he will come after them. When there is another murder at a rave, Dilara becomes convinced that her group is being targeted by this mysterious presence linked to a supernatural podcast and must race to uncover the truth before it's too late.
This unique horror puts a spin on the phenomenon of true crime podcasts, layered with thrilling supernatural elements. Dutch actors Rick Paul van Mulligen ("Grisse"), Sonia Eijken ("Zenith: Supercharged Family"), Isa Hoes ("Goede Tijden") lead the cast.
THRILLER AND HORROR SLATE
"Jimmy" joins Incredible Film’s growing slate of thriller and horror features, which also includes "Amsterdamned II". The international sales agent will present the film to new global partners at AFM. The film premiered in Dutch cinemas this summer, receiving critical acclaim and has already been sold to Belgium and The Netherlands.
Daniëlle Raaphorst, CEO of Incredible Film says “'Jimmy' taps into the growing cultural fascination with true crime, adding a new layer of tension when a true crime podcast has real world consequences. We are excited to have this completely unique take on horror, onboard our slate and ready for AFM.
