IFC Midnight Lands Eron Sheean's ERRORS OF THE HUMAN BODY

Fresh from its world premiere at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal and just prior to its appearance at Fantastic Fest - where it will be part of the Next Wave competition - word has arrived that IFC Midnight have picked up distribution rights to Eron Sheean's scientific thriller Errors Of The Human Body.

Seeking a new laboratory to pursue his controversial genetic research, Dr Geoff Burton takes up a position at the world-renowned Institute for Molecular Cell Biology & Genetics in wintry Dresden, Germany. His contribution to their most top-secret project - a human regeneration gene - has the potential to make something extraordinary out of a personal tragedy that has haunted him for years. But when he uncovers a conspiracy amongst his colleagues, he finds instead something quite different: a terrifying new virus, with potentially both devastating and miraculous consequences for humanity - and for Geoff, who is not only its first victim, but its unwitting source.

Perhaps best known as the writer of Xavier Gens' The Divide, Sheean makes his feature debut here. Michael Eklund stars.
