The film, which stars Julia Stiles and Paddy Considine, is based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, who wrote the "The Talented Mr. Ripley."
Paramount Home Entertainment will release "Cry of the Owl" on DVD, VOD and pay per view, while Myriad will handle theatrical, pay TV and other markets in the U.S.
Written and directed by Jamie Thraves, story centers on a young woman (Stiles) who discovers she is being stalked by a troubled local man (Considine). Her fear turns to attraction until her boyfriend finds out and devises an elaborate scheme to frame Considine's character for a murder that never happened.
Last year Myriad released in U.S. theaters the Dario Argento horror-thriller "Mother of Tears." The Weinstein Co. released the film on DVD, with Myriad retaining select TV rights.
