Altered Innocence has secured the North American distribution rights to ‘Hen’, the latest feature from acclaimed Hungarian director György Pálfi. Known for his surrealist style in ‘Taxidermia’, Pálfi returns with a folk-horror-inflected drama about a woman who finds a mysterious egg in a rural setting, triggering a bizarre physical and psychological transformation. The film has already garnered critical acclaim during its international festival run.

Acting as the primary buyer, Altered Innocence will serve as the distributor for a multi-platform release in late 2026, targeting both specialized theaters and digital channels. The production features a dedicated European crew and showcases Pálfi’s signature focus on unsettling body horror and atmospheric storytelling. This acquisition allows the studio house to continue its tradition of bringing transgressive, boundary-pushing world cinema to Western audiences.

The deal ensures that ‘Hen’ will receive a curated marketing campaign aimed at horror aficionados and cinephiles alike. By securing these rights, Altered Innocence maintains its role as a key seller of high-concept international IP in the North American market. The official release schedule is set to be finalized following the film’s upcoming theatrical exhibitions in late 2026. (USA)
