Motion Picture Exchange (MPX) has acquired world sales rights to U.S. indie horror film “Swipe,” directed by Sean Whalen and featuring a murderous family of sadistic mute women.
MPX will be presenting the female-driven chiller to buyers at the upcoming Cannes Marché du Film.
“Swipe” is the second feature by actor-director Whalen, whose acting credits include “Twister.” Whalen previously directed the well-received horror film “Crust,” about a lonely laundromat owner who keeps leftover socks from customers, which is playing on major streaming platforms in the U.S. and currently has a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
