Hold onto your popcorn, horror fans! The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has just off‑loaded the TIFF Midnight Madness sensation *River* to the horror heavyweights Blumhouse and Universal for a jaw‑dropping $10 million‑plus. Insiders say the deal was sealed over a midnight coffee and a promise that the film’s terrifying river monster will finally get the special effects budget it deserves—think more CGI splash, less budget‑cut ripple. Critics are already speculating whether the new owners will turn the indie thriller into a full‑blown slasher or keep it as a ‘creepy‑campfire story.’ Either way, the industry is buzzing louder than a swarm of bats, and the only thing flowing faster than the river’s plot twists is the cash. Get ready for a tidal wave of terror—because when IFC says ‘sell,’ the horror world listens… and screams.
