“Stranger Things” star Joseph Quinn has been on a hot streak ever since he wormed his way into hearts as beloved character Eddie Munson, and up next you’ll see him in spinoff movie A Quiet Place: Day One. Quinn has also been set to star in a new horror movie titled Relapse.
Variety reports that American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis will be making his directorial debut with Relapse, described as “an elevated horror film that [Easton Ellis] wrote.”
Joseph Quinn will star in the upcoming film as “Matt Cullen, who checks into rehab after witnessing a horrific death during a drugged-up party. Three months later, he is set to get his life back together, staying at his parent’s mansion in the hills of Los Angeles. But things have changed around Matt and everything seems off balance.”
The official synopsis continues, “Fueled by his unstable personality and the invading power of social media, Matt’s paranoia grows, messing up with his rehabilitation program. As he starts using again, a mysterious presence starts growing around Matt, and a monster that has been haunting him since he was a teenager reveals itself. His therapist tries to help, convinced that the monster is actually in Matt’s head.”
“I grew up watching the iconic horror movies of the 1970s,” said Ellis. “I’ve written ‘Lunar Park,’ a horror novel, as an homage to Stephen King. It seems appropriate that my first feature would be a horror film. There is a simplicity to ‘Relapse’ that seems like the perfect form for my directing debut: something direct and impactful.”
Relapse is said to be a monster movie, with a creature designed by DDT Studios.
