The spooky season content just keeps on coming! Antlers, a new horror movie directed by Scott Cooper and produced by Guillermo del Toro, is finally opening in theaters at the end of the month after being delayed multiple times over the past year. For fans of del Toro monsters, it will hopefully be worth the wait—because the critter king has a brand new creature to debut. And yes, it has antlers.
The film stars Keri Russell as a school teacher in a rural town in Oregon, who starts to suspect that one of her students, Lucas (Jeremy T. Thomas), is harboring a dangerous supernatural being in his house. So she enlists the help of her cop brother (Jesse Plemons) to investigate.
The wait for Antlers is very nearly over, but you still have a few more weeks to go. Here’s what to know about the Antlers release date and where to watch the Antlers movie.
WHEN DOES ANTLERS 2021 COME OUT? ANTLERS RELEASE DATE:
Antlers is scheduled to release in theaters on Friday, October 29, 2021. (Despite the lack of marketing for this release date, a PR rep confirmed to Decider that the film would be releasing on October 29.) The film was originally scheduled to debut in 2020, but Searchlight Pictures delayed the release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
WHERE TO WATCH ANTLERS THE MOVIE:
For now, the only way to watch Antlers is in a movie theater in two weeks, when the film opens in theaters only on October 29. Tickets for the movie are not yet on sale.
WHEN WILL THE ANTLERS MOVIE BE STREAMING?
Unlike some movies release during the pandemic, Antlers will not be on streaming at the same time that it’s in theaters. After the movie’s theatrical run, Antlers will be available to rent or buy on digital on-demand via platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, and more.
A digital release date for Antlers has not yet been announced, and it’s hard to say when exactly Antlers will become available on-demand. Antlers is a Searchlight Pictures release, and another recent Searchlight film, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, will release on digital a little over 7 weeks after opening in theaters. If Antlers follows a similar release pattern, you can expect it on VOD around the end of December 2021.
Technically, Searchlight Pictures is a Disney company, meaning it’s possible that Antlers will someday be on Disney+. However, other Searchlight releases, like Downhill and Free Guy, have not yet ended up on Disney+, so you may be waiting for quite a while. If you really want to see Antlers ASAP, your best bet is to find a showing at your local movie theaters when it opens on October 29.
