Vertical Entertainment

Independent distribution powerhouse that has become synonymous with genre films that refuse to play it safe. Vertical Entertainment consistently champions horror, thriller, and action titles that major studios consider “too risky,” bringing audiences films like “The Strangers: Prey at Night,” “Happy Death Day 2U,” “Escape the Field,” and “The Rental” that prove independent doesn’t mean inferior.

Founded with the mission of giving theatrical life to festival favorites and genre gems, Vertical has built an impressive catalog spanning supernatural horror like “Sinister 2,” home invasion thrillers, psychological chillers, and action films that prioritize character over explosions. They understand that the best genre cinema often comes from filmmakers willing to take risks that corporate committees won’t approve.

From picking up “Cargo” with Martin Freeman navigating zombie-infested Australia to distributing “Clinical” psychological thrillers that mess with your head, Vertical Entertainment has proven that independent distribution can compete with major studios when it comes to delivering memorable cinema experiences. They’ve become the distributor that genre fans watch, knowing that a Vertical Entertainment release likely means something worth talking about.
