‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’ picked up for US distribution
There’s no word yet on a release date, but at least the film is on its way to being released in the US:

Anchor Bay have picked it up for US distribution, so we’ll be able to see for ourselves if it’s as taut and twisty as it’s meant to be. [The Playlist]
