The upcoming horror comedy, ‘Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal,’ is set to be released into theaters and VOD on April 5 by Doppelganger Releasing. The film, which was written and directed by Boris Rodriguez, is just one of the latest movies from the new genre label and distributor of theatrical and home entertainment projects that launched this year.

Doppelganger Releasing has provided the following synopsis for ‘Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal’:

“Thure Lindhardt (Keep the Lights On) stars in this quirky horror-comedy as Lars, a former darling of the art scene now slipping away into the land of has-beens and struggling with lack of inspiration.

When Lars’s art dealer Ronny arranges a teaching job in a small town as a “therapeutic measure” to stir up his creative juices, things don’t quite turn out as planned. At first, life in the peaceful small town seems rosy, as he settles in and impresses beautiful fellow colleague Leslie (Georgina Reilly) by taking in the brawny, mute Eddie (Dylan Smith) after the latter’s caregiver passes away. But Lars soon discovers that the façade of serenity hides something unimaginable: Eddie suffers from a rare form of sleepwalking that transforms him from a docile, cereal-obsessed art student into a ravenous sleepwalkingcannibal. Initially horrified by Eddie’s dark secret, Lars becomes enthralled by the not-so-gentle giant. Exceptional art comes at a very high price…and how far is Lars willing to go for his next masterpiece?”
