Ahead of her return in the new season of “Stranger Things,” Winona Ryder will be starring in the horror film The Cow, which Deadline reports will be released later this year by Vertical Entertainment.
Ryder will star alongside John Gallagher Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane), Owen Teague (IT franchise), Dermot Mulroney (The Courier), and Brianne Tju (47 Meters Down Uncaged).
In The Cow, directed by Eli Horowitz (“Homecoming”) and co-written with Matthew Derby, “Kath (Ryder) and her boyfriend (Gallagher Jr.) arrive at a remote cabin in the redwoods, only to discover that a mysterious younger couple is already there. “The rental has 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—but the truth is far stranger than she could have ever imagined.”
“It was a thrill to watch audiences respond so enthusiastically to The Cow at SXSW, and it’s now an even bigger one to be able to share it with the wider world,” director Horowitz said. “I’m very grateful to Vertical for partnering with us on this strange and surprising movie.”
