February 17, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Following a n acclaimed festival run, Vertigo Releasing is bringing the Dutch satirical horror-comedy The Columnist to the UK this March.

Directed by Ivo van Aart, the film stars Katja Herbers (Westworld) as Famke Boot, an author suffering from writers block who decides to make matters into her own hands and exact revenge on the internet trolls sending her abuse and death threats.

Check out the poster, synopsis and UK trailer below, and read our review of the film here…

Newspaper columnist and author Femke Boot is suffering from writers’ block, and her mood isn’t improved by the torrent of abuse and death threats she receives daily on social media. When she discovers that her obnoxious, loud neighbour is one of the anonymous people posting vile comments, she snaps and takes matters into her own hands. As she finds herself able to write again, she sets out on a mission – track down the trolls and deliver some swift, polite and deadly vengeance.

The Columnist is set for release on March 12th in the UK.
