The film, presented by horror legend Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA), has garnered strong reviews Alfonso Cuarón has said that “it sits in the tradition of great psychological horror films which leaves one questioning long after it is finished” and Variety described it as “A superb, sly horror-drama debut delivering otherworldly feminist vengeance.” The film will also release in territories including Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America. IFC Midnight will release the film in theaters and on demand in North America in 2022, with Shudder taking the first streaming window.

Three years earlier, and after a carnival ball, the bon viveur Gabriel von Eisenstein has abandoned his friend in the city centre, drunk and dressed in the costume of a bat.

With a subject that is light and refreshing, a plot full of humour, misunderstandings and twists and, of course the wonderful music with its brilliant waltzes, it is easy to understand why Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss the Younger in such a few years became the most famous, popular and representative Viennese operetta. ![]() ![]() Operetta in three acts, libretto by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée
