‘Shutter’ Writer Tackles Found Footage Frankenstein Tale ‘Subject 17’
Lionsgate has tapped Luke Dawson, who penned the 2008 remake Shutter, to write Subject 17, a new found footage flick to be produced by Mosiac Media Group, Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned..
The low budget horror flick will be found footage and can best be described as Flatliners meets Frankenstein. We’re told that the horror flick is about a group of medical researchers who attempt to reawaken the dead, only to find that they’ve created another monster entirely.
Frankenstein is hot right now, although I’m not sure where this fits in with Lionsgate since they’re distributing the in-production I, Frankenstein.
What happened to Flight 298? Our exclusive clip from supernatural thriller Black Box suggests a hostile takeover by an inhuman threat.
Black Box arrives on VOD today, July 7, 2026, via distributor Aura Entertainment.
In the horror movie, “A routine domestic flight turns into the flight from hell through a series of inexplicable phenomena and raw terror. Surreal encounters blur the boundaries between reality and nightmare. Passengers fight against all the odds in an attempt to survive while combating bizarre technological malfunctions, accelerating supernatural events, and alien influences.”
The film is based on the short film The Vessel, and an original screenplay from horror writer Stephen Susco (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Hell Fest).
Steven Quale (Into the Storm, Final Destination 5) directs.
Tom Brittney, Holly Leena White, Betsy Blue English, Dane Whyte O’Hara, Kaja Chan, Asa Ali, Boadicea Ricketts, Ceallach Spellman, Georgina Leonidas, Molly Belle Wright, Hanneke Talbot, Danny Mack, and Weronika Rosati star in Black Box.
Hammerstone Studios’ Alex Lebovici (Barbarian, Boy Kills World) and Jon Oakes (Drive, The Guilty) will produce alongside Capstone’s Christian Mercuri and David Haring (Bill & Ted Face the Music), Warren Zide (The Final Destination, American Pie), and Susco. Ruzanna Kegeyan and Roman Viaris of Capstone, and Clark Baker (Vessel) will executive produce.
