Blumhouse has joined forces with EPIX to “develop and produce eight elevated, standalone horror/genre-thriller movies exclusively for the network,” and the next project as part of that collaboration is There’s Something Wrong With The Children, being directed by Roxanne Benjamin (V/H/S, Southbound). The project was announced by Variety.
Benjamin is a huge part of the Bloody Disgusting family, having helped us acquire our awesome BD Selects line of films and also producing both V/H/S and V/H/S/2 before going on to direct a segment in our horror anthology Southbound. She also helmed indie thriller Body at Brighton Rock, plus episodes of “Creepshow”, “Riverdale”, and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”.
From Variety’s report today, the cast for There’s Something Wrong With The Children will include Zach Gilford (“The Purge: Anarchy,” “Friday Night Lights”), Amanda Crew (“Silicon Valley”), Alisha Wainwright (“Raising Dion”), Carlos Santos (“Gentefied”), Briella Guiza (“Ambulance”) and David Mattle (“Life & Beth”).
In Benjamin’s latest terror tale…
“Margaret (Wainwright) and Ben (Gilford) take a weekend trip with longtime friends Ellie (Crew) and Thomas (Santos) and their two young children (Guiza and Mattle). Eventually, Ben begins to suspect something supernatural is occurring when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight.”
T.J. Cimfel & David White (“Intruders”) wrote the script.
