EXCLUSIVE CLIP: Fear Is Mongolia’s Newest Export in Baatar Batsukh’s “ABERRANCE”

Mongolia‘s newest export is fear. The landlocked, East Asian country has at long last added horror cinema to its rich culture thanks to the efforts of filmmaker and renowned cinematographer Baatar Batsukh and his feature theatrical directorial debut, ABERRANCE

Touted as the first Mongolian horror feature to be released theatrically in the U.S., ABERRANCE stars Selenge Chadraabal and Erkhembayar Ganbat as an estranged couple who retreat to a secluded home in the wilds of Mongolia. Soon, these city dwellers find themselves caught up in a web of sinister neighbors and dark, mysterious forces. 

In this exclusive clip, tensions come to a head in an outburst of self-destructive violence. You’ve been warned!


ABERRANCE from Freestyle Digital Media premieres in U.S. theaters on October 6. See the trailer now!
