Christian Sesma seemingly never stops working. A self-taught filmmaker, Sesma has been directing since 2006 at an incredibly productive rate. In that time, he has completed (and found distribution) for more than twenty feature-length genre films.
The official first look photo is now out and running online for Paydirt and Take Back helmer Christian Sesma’s new action thriller, Section 8. The new asset arrives announcing the film’s acquisition by AMC Networks for a same-day theatrical release September 23 from RLJE Films, and exclusively on streaming platform, AMC+.
You needn’t look further than Thursday’s Fantasia first wave announcements to find out that filmmaker Rebekah McKendry’s (All The Creatures Were Stirring, Psycho Granny) new horror, Glorious, was about to make headway for audiences. Alas, premium horror streamer Shudder is picking up the tab and letting horror fans know what’s up with it’s newly-announced acquisition. Read on!
March 9 is the date for its theatrical release with actress Maggie Grace, and actors Toby Kebbell and Ryan Kwanten starring. Check out the trailer below!

UK actor Tom Hopper, Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten, Irish actress Charlie Murphy and forthcoming star of the next Transporter trilogy, actor Ed Skrein lead the principal cast.
The film is also going to be shopped at Cannes this month courtesy of The Salt Company, so fans can expect further distribution in the weeks ahead.
SYNOPSIS:
A gang of Viking marauders under the command of their young leader, Asbjörn, bear down on the coast of Britain, intent on pillaging Lindisfarne of its gold. But, caught in a vicious storm, their longboat is dashed to pieces on the rocks off Scotland. Trapped deep within enemy territory, the shipwrecked men’s only chance of survival is to reach the safety of the Viking stronghold Danelag.
With only the enigmatic Conall, a monk who preaches with his sword to help them, they cut a bloody swath through anyone who gets in their way. But the journey becomes a race for their lives when the King of Scotland sends his most feared mercenaries, the Wolf Pack, after them. Traversing an unfamiliar and hostile land, they are pursued relentlessly. However the hunters become the hunted when the Vikings, eager for battle, set deadly traps and mercilessly decimate their pursuers one by one…
