AFM ’09: From the Director of ‘Dead Meat’ Comes ‘The Disturbed’
In my humble opinion, Conor McMahon’s 2004 Irish zombie pic Dead Meat was awesome, and I’ve since been waiting for him to make a big return to horror. While I wouldn’t call tis “big”, his latest The Disturbed, does look pretty interesting. We caught wind of the project on the floors of AFM this morning and now have for you not only the sales art, but also the first trailer! Get all the goodies inside!“Clyde and Jed are two typical best buddies. They hang out, talk movies, pig out on junk food and then entertain their other common hobby; terrorizing and killing young girls on camera. Their latest victim, Sarah, is totally unaware of what exactly is going on when the two men take her from the trunk of their car and drag her to their bachelor pad.
The murderers plan out every detail of the film in front of Sarah, terrifying her and leaving her with only one goal: escape.
In her darkest hour, with no chance of survival at hand, a glimmer of hope arrives in the form of a spirit who has something much more wicked planned for these twisted friends.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
