RLJE & Shudder Acquire The Rights To The Horror-Fantasy ‘The Spine Of The Night’

RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, and Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller, and the supernatural have acquired the North American rights to the fantasy-horror film The Spine of Night following its successful world premiere at this year’s SXSW Film Festival.
