The rental has apparently been double-booked, and with nowhere else to go, they decide to share the cabin with these strangers. When her boyfriend disappears with the young woman, Kath becomes obsessed with finding an explanation for their sudden breakup\u2014but the truth is far stranger than she could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p>The Cow also stars Dermot Mulroney (The Courier), Owen Teague (It franchise) and Brianne Tju (47 Meters Down). Horowitz and Matthew Derby wrote the script, with BoulderLight Pictures\u2019 Raphael Margules and JD Lifshitz producing alongside Shaun Sanghani and Russ Posternak, and the Singapore-based mm2 Asia serving as exec producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a thrill to watch audiences respond so enthusiastically to The Cow at SXSW, and it\u2019s now an even bigger one to be able to share it with the wider world,\u201d said Horowitz. \u201cI\u2019m very grateful to Vertical for partnering with us on this strange and surprising movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a successful partnership on last year\u2019s Spirit Award-nominated Wild Indian, we are delighted to re-team with the supportive and collaborative team at Vertical for the release of this unique film,\u201d said BoulderLight Pictures in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve always known that Eli and our incredible cast were on to something special \u2013 and we are thrilled to be sharing that with the world very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to have landed The Cow out of SXSW,\u201d added Vertical Entertainment Partner Peter Jarowey. \u201cEli has created captivating thriller anchored by strong performances from an incredible cast led by Winona Ryder. We are also excited to work with BoulderLight Pictures, Shaun and Russ on a project we have been tracking since its infancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vertical Entertainment is a global independent distributor, which was founded in 2012.
