The Australian slasher The Only One has been acquired by The Coven for international distribution.

The movie is the directorial debut of Michael Schwarz and was written by Marek Polgar and Martyn Pedler.

The Only One is “described as an ode to the slashers of the ’80s and ’90s with strong leading women, the film stars Mel Jarnson (Street Fighter) as protagonist Zoe who has returned to her Australian hometown after an unsuccessful attempt to become an actress in L.A. Her homecoming takes a deadly turn when a mysterious ‘prince charming’ starts murdering all her exes. Teaming up with high school best friend Piper (Saphira Moran), the two race to unmask the twisted killer, in a mission that will see Zoe face all the hearts she broke before prince charming is the only one left alive to claim her heart.”

“The Only One taps into the growing appetite for relationship-driven horror films,” Kendall Anlian of The Coven shared about the acquisition. “It’s fresh, smart, and wildly fun, Schwarz directs his first feature like a horror veteran, while Jarnson is an absolute force of charisma and badass energy, we’re lucky to be on board.”

Schwarz added, “The Coven are the newest additions to The Only One family, but it feels like they’ve been with us for the whole journey … I couldn’t be more excited to have them introducing it to the market, and allowing this film to find its true audience.”

Deadline first reported on the acquisition.
