Roadside Attractions and Saban Films have acquired U.S. rights to horror-thriller Crawlers.

Matilda Lutz (Revenge, Magpie, Rings) stars in the film directed by Angel Gómez Hernández. Jayson Rothwell (PolarSilent Night) wrote the script.

In Crawlers, Serena (Lutz), the overworked and underappreciated manager of the Paradiso Palms apartment complex, discovers a mysterious death. But what begins as a suspected viral outbreak quickly spirals into something far more terrifying: a catastrophic infestation of venomous spiders spreading rapidly through the building. Trapped by a quarantine with no way out, residents are forced into a desperate fight for survival as the threat multiplies by the second. Armed only with her intimate knowledge of the building, Serena may be the only one who can keep them alive — if she can confront her deepest fear.

Crawlers is a Badlands, Thunder Road, Altitude, Sagesse Productions, Fresco Film, and Renegade Capital Production. Produced by Strauss, Peter Welter (Spiderman, Far from Home, Terminator Dark Fate), Jayson Rothwell, BasiI Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Academy Award Nominee Alexandra Milchan (Tar, Blackbird, The Terror) and Josh Weinstock (Nightingale, Sleepwalker). Andrew Schwartzberg (The Other Lamb), Jon Shiffman (American Psycho) and Diarmaid McGrath (John Wick Chapter 4) serve as executive producers.

It will release in theaters October 2.

Deadline first reported on the acquisition.
