Lionsgate
Our research on distribution companies was firstly focused towards Lionsgate, who specialise in distributing films within the Horror genre.
Lionsgate is a successful independent film and distribution company.
We used IMDB and Wikipedia to help us find out more information into Lionsgate. They are a film studio which has a track record for a number of successful blockbuster horror movies in the past decade, including:
Saw I - VII
Cabin Fever
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Hostel
The BBFC has rated all these films a clear 18 due to the heavy themes of violence, torture and bad language. Through Lionsgates success of distributing many of these successful horror films, we felt Lionsgate would be a good company to distribute our film.
MGM Films
MGM films have a track record of previous and upcoming Horror films, such as:
Jeepers Creepers
Jeepers Creepers 2
The Amityville Horror
Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral

We would choose MGM films because of their success in distributing successful horror films.

We would use Vertigo Films to distribute our film as they know how to promote our film to a UK audience.
