Nick Kroll (Don’t Worry Darling) and Amanda Seyfried (Jennifer’s Body) star in I Don’t Understand You, and Deadline reports this week that the film has been picked up by Vertical.

Vertical will release I Don’t Understand You in theaters in early 2025.

Andrew Rannells (A Simple Favor) and Morgan Spector (The Gilded Age) also star in the comedic thriller, which is directed by David Joseph Craig and Brian William Crano.

“I Don’t Understand You follows Americans Dom (Kroll) and Cole (Rannells), a couple on the verge of adopting a baby, who embark on an Italian vacation — the perfect opportunity to reconnect before the new addition arrives. Everything is picture-perfect; the epitome of a European babymoon, when things begin to spiral out of control.

“Lost on the way to dinner, their car gets stuck in a ditch, leaving them stranded in rural nowhere during a torrential downpour. These two Americans, who are used to being catered to, are now in a foreign land without cell service, zero comprehension of the Italian language and, as fear takes over, escalating relationship turmoil that could explode at any moment.”

Producers on the film include actor Joel Edgerton (The Gift).

Directors David Joseph Craig and Brian William Crano said in a joint statement shared by Deadline today, “We can’t wait for the world to see our silly, honest, and bloody tale.”

If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of The Babadook.

Writer/Director Jennifer Kent’s feature debut shook audiences and helped usher in a new era of horror, and it’s turning ten this year. To celebrate, IFC Films, in partnership with Iconic Events Releasing, is bringing the modern horror classic back to theaters nationwide starting on September 19, featuring an exclusive filmed Q&A with Jennifer Kent.

Tickets go on sale on August 14.

The writer/director will also be touring with the film for select to-be-announced special screenings and in-person discussions in September to commemorate the special anniversary.

In The Babadook, “Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her ‘out of control’ 6-year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel’s dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called ‘The Babadook’ turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he’s been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son’s behaviour, is forced to medicate him. But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.”

Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Hayley McElhinney, Daniel Henshall, Barbara West, and Ben Winspear star in The Babadook.

The psychological horror movie made Bloody Disgusting’s Best Horror Films of the 2010s list, with William Bibbiani writing, “Essie Davis gives one of the great horror performances of the decade in Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook, an exceptionally eerie supernatural story about a single mother whose deteriorating mental health fuels a macabre demon from a storybook. Kent’s oppressive environments seemingly trap her protagonist in a domestic hell, in which the only person she loves is also her greatest enemy.”

The special event comes with a new trailer, below, and a fantastic commemorative poster designed by MUTANT and artist Sara Deck.

The film’s re-release confirms it: you can’t get rid of The Babadook, indeed.
