Osiris Entertainment has picked up the indie thriller Ashes for a future release, while Time Warner has acquired video-on-demand rights for this title. Release dates are to be formalized, but expect Ashes to become available in early 2012 with a vod release likely to come earlier than the DVD release (prediction).
Ashes is a story of an obsessive doctor who turns patients in to shells of their former selves. Infected with a virus, these patients turn everyone around them into mulch to the doctor's despair. This is a small film which includes a few action packed sequences and fans of indie thrillers might want to look out for this title in the coming year. A trailer for Ashes is below.

Director: Elias Matar.
Writer: Edward E. Romero and Elias Mataar.
