IFC is giving Lars von Trier's "Antichrist" a pre-Halloween release in Los Angeles and New York, with the film to go out Oct. 23.
IFC, the biggest buyer at this year's Cannes Film Festival, snapped up the psychological erotic-horror title during the fest.
Pic, which has sexually explicit content, stars Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe. Meta Louise Foldager produced and Peter Aalbaek Jensen and Peter Garde exec produced.
The Cannes jury presented Gainsbourg with its actress award.
IFC will widen the theatrical release after the platform launch.
The company, which usually releases theatrical titles simultaneously on video-on-demand, has set a VOD date of Oct. 21 for "Antichrist."
