for October Release

'The Loneliest Boy in the World' Zombie Fairytale Arrives Oct. 18 on VOD

Leading international and indie film distributor Well Go USA Entertainment has acquired North American rights to coming-of-age horror comedy THE LONELIEST BOY IN THE WORLD. The film—as sweet and endearing as it is darkly satiric—is led by an all-star cast that includes Screen International “Star of Tomorrow” Max Harwood, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Susan Wokoma, Evan Ross, Tallulah Haddon, Hammed Animashaun, Jacob Sartorius, Ben Miller, Alex Murphy, Nicola Roberts and Ashley Benson. The film will be released in theaters on October 14 before landing on VOD platforms October 18.

THE LONELIEST BOY IN THE WORLD is billed as a modern fairytale—except with zombies. When the sheltered and unsocialized Oliver is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he discovers that his newly acquired friends have mysteriously come to life overnight, launching them all into a series of misadventures as they try to keep their secret safe from neighbors, classmates and social workers alike.

“THE LONELIEST BOY IN THE WORLD is imbued with dark humor and clever, macabre irony, but at its core, it is simultaneously sweet and nostalgic, a true testament to the value of friends who help you carve out your place in the world even in the midst of some really tragic circumstances,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO at Well Go USA. “The film exquisitely pulls off the sort of Burtonesque, gothic-suburbia aesthetic and charm that audiences are so hungry for every October, and the story been brought to life (so to speak) by a truly unbeatable cast.”

THE LONELIEST BOY IN THE WORLD was written by Piers Ashworth, directed by Martin Owen and produced by Matt Williams, Pat Wintersgill, Piers Ashworth, Ryan Hamilton and Karl Hall. The deal was negotiated by Doris Pfardrescher on behalf of Well Go USA and the filmmakers. Voltage Pictures is handling international sales and distribution.
