PROJECT DETAILS

• Dimension Films will distribute in the US.
• The film will be shown at 2011's Toronto International Film Festival.
• On the tone of the film compared to their previous film, Inside, they were quoted saying: "It is true that Livid is less gory and extreme than Inside. We wanted to change registers. It reflects another aspect of genre that we also love. A more atmospheric cinema, more based on suggestion rather than demonstration. If we had to compare it, it is more old school fantastical more like HAMMER movies. But we cannot change who we are and there are still some scenes that are quite violent!"
• The story is set in a small town on the Irish coast.
• Budgeted at an estimated $5-million.
• Fans may recognize the co-writing/directing French duo Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo  from Inside.
