The French creature feature Survive is making its way to North America, as Deadline reports that Samuel Goldwyn Films has picked up the distribution rights and are planning to give the film a theatrical and VOD release sometime in January.

It was the first of four foot injuries that resulted in people leaving the adventure. Matt Alexander left after his foot was injured. Lacey Jones then hurt her knee and was evacuated.

But none of the injuries were as devastating as Day 20, when the tribe’s main provider Matt Wright got a flesh-eating bacteria in his foot, a development that could have resulted in amputation or even death.
