Vertical Acquires Horror Film ‘The Twin’

Vertical is set to release J.C. Coler’s horror film “The Twin” on July 1, following the company’s acquisition of North American rights.

The cast includes Logan Donovan (“Magnum P.I.”), Robert Longstreet (“The Fall of the House of Usher”) and Aleksa Palladino (“The Penguin”).

The film, which draws from Irish folklore, follows Donovan’s character Nicholas, who deals with grief and starts to have visions of a mysterious figure with his likeness. Palladino plays Nicholas’s wife, Charlie, while Longstreet plays Nicholas’s psychiatrist Dr. Beaumont.

“J.C.’s atmospheric direction, paired with Logan’s haunted and physically impressive performance, has resulted in a deeply chilling story that horror fans will love. We look forward to presenting the film to North American audiences this summer,” Vertical senior vice president of acquisitions Tony Piantedosi said in a statement.

Producers include Doler, Donovan, Alexander Jeffery, Paul Petersen, Brittany Fallow and Chris Alan Evans.

“After such a long journey, I’m incredibly proud to finally share ‘The Twin’ with horror audiences everywhere,” Doler, who makes his directorial debut with the film, said in a statement. “It’s a story about the things we try to bury that somehow find a way to dig themselves out.”
