Tribeca Horror ‘Recluse’ Gets North American Deal With Vertical

Vertical has acquired North American rights to *Recluse*, a horror film that premiered at Tribeca, and plans a theatrical release in the first half of 2027. The deal brings writer-director Henry Chaisson’s feature debut, executive-produced by Steven Schneider, to cinemas after festival screenings.

Sasha Frolova plays Joan, who returns to her family home after a fire injures her estranged father and begins hearing recordings linked to her mother’s disappearance. The film’s cast also includes Xander Berkeley and Toby Poser; it was co-produced by Points North and Restricted Pictures, with the distribution deal negotiated by Vertical and Blue Finch Films.
