The deal, also involving Music Box Films, comes ahead of a North American premiere for Ivan Sen's Australian noir at TIFF.

The feature, about a Filipino immigrant and single mother who is a caretaker for a haunted British estate, bowed at SXSW and is set for a Dec. 8 theatrical release.

The true-crime film chronicles the night of the 21-year-old British backpacker's death in New Zealand while on a Tinder date and a subsequent trial, where her convicted killer used a controversial "rough sex" defense.
