Wanna Know What Ti West’s Eli Roth-Produced ‘The Sacrament’ Is About?!
A huge thank you to Bloody member DarkHolmes7 for tipping us off to a new interview with Eli Roth, who reveals the top secret plot of The Sacrament, the latest genre offering from horror fav Ti West (The Innkeepers, V/H/S, The House of the Devil, The Roost).
“I’m now producing a film called The Sacrament that Ti West produced and directed,” Roth, producer on CBS Films’ forthcoming The Last Exorcism: Part II, tells The Guardian. “He made a terrific film called House of the Devil, and had a great idea about a found footage docu-style horror movie set it a Jonestown type cult where we watch a mass suicide begin and the filmmakers are trapped inside. It’s really, really scary.”
The first still, above, took us to the Savannah, Georgia set where star AJ Bowen (The Signal, You’re Next) is on the run from something terrible. Sound like he’s on the run from cult members?
Joe Swanberg (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die, V/H/S), Kentucker Audley, Amy Seimetz (You’re Next, A Horrible Way To Die, Upstream Color) and Gene Jones also star.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
