Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon wrote, directed, produced and star in Hell Baby, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and co-stars Rob Corddry, Leslie Bibb, Keegan Michael Key, Riki Lindhome, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer and Michael Ian Black. Millennium Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights and said the pic will debut on all VOD platforms in the fall before a theatrical run 30 days later. The story centers on an expectant couple who moves into the most haunted fixer-upper in New Orleans — a house with a demonic curse. Things soon spiral out of control and only the Vatican’s elite exorcism team can save them — or can they? Darko Entertainment’s Sean McKittrick and Jeff Culotta, and Principato-Young’s Peter Principato and Paul Young also are producers. John D. Lynch, David Lincoln and Darko’s Edward H. Hamm Jr are executive producers. Darko financed. Millennium VP Acquisitions Tristen Tuckfield brokered the deal with CAA, which negotiated on behalf of Darko and Principato-Young.

An Exorcist spoof? That’s about 40 years late. Unbelievable. No one will see this.
This film is hilarious. I saw it at a Sundance midnight screening. You are incorrect! The horrible “A Haunted House” won the weekend for god’s sake and Thomas Lennon is actually funny. It’ll do fine theatrically and will kill on VOD.
“An exorcist spoof?”
What an ignorant-ass comment to make without having seen the movie. I’m guessing you haven’t heard any of the dozens of rave reviews or heard all of the positive buzz surrounding this film.
“No one will see this.”
Ignorant. Merits of the movie itself aside, if it’s a fall release and near or before Halloween, millions will see it just because it might be a fun scare.
You couldn’t misunderstand the concept of their film more. You’ll eat your words in 7 months.
As a big fan of the emerging horror-comedy genre I hope this does well at the box office!
This won’t do great at the box office because it isn’t a wide release and is premiering after it will have been on-demand for a month. I don’t even know why they bother releasing a movie theatrically 30 days after its VOD premiere.
I definitely want to see it though. I love a good horror comedy and this has good buzz. I loved Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil. That should have been a wide release. Total crowd-pleaser.
the bachelorette. arbitrage. there’s a new business model for releasing smaller films VOD to theaters, and they’re making millions without spending much.
You know why it won’t do well? Because they won’t release it on 3000 screens like Twilight. Put the damn movie in the theater and they will come. Come on, the morons can sit through Twilight and Spiderman which means they are either lobotomized or high, put good movies in the theaters they will come. Put crap, they will come. Look at all the crap people go to. Why? Because that’s all the choices. To see quality you need to go to Landmark type theaters which will never be enough for box office. And, moronic middle america doesn’t have those theaters. But the best stuff is there. The real movies are there. The crap like Avatar can stay on the big screen for the lemmings to go with their friends to. For me, I couldn’t get through more than 29 minutes of it.
