Horror movie Breeder is set to release in theaters October 16 via Independent Film Company and Shudder.

“The film is about an eccentric poodle breeder who lures a broke college student to her remote ranch with a promise of research funding.

As he soon learns, there’s a catch.”

The film is the feature debut of director Alex Goyette.

Daniel Doheny, Dot Marie Jones, Maddie Phillips, and Tanaya Beatty star.

“Breeder is the kind of movie that makes you lean forward and ask, ‘How did they get away with this?’” said Mark Ward of IFC Entertainment Group. “It’s provocative and constantly surprises you just when you think you’ve figured it out. We knew the moment we saw it that audiences will be talking about it long after they leave the theater, and we can’t wait to shock audiences on the big screen later this year.”
