IFC Midnight Calls Upon ‘Pyewacket’ Out of TIFF
Be careful what you wish for…
In Pyewacket, from director Adam MacDonald (Backcountry), a frustrated girl (Nicole Muñoz) attempts an occult ritual but awakens something sinister in the woods instead.
Hailing out of Canada, the psychological thriller, ironically from the executive producer of The Witch, is actually about a young girl who performs an occult ritual to evoke a witch to kill her mother.
IFC Midnight has acquired U.S. rights to the film, Bloody Disgusting learned, and will release in limited theaters and on VOD in 2018. Eone has Canada.
We are huge fans of this indie gem here on Bloody.
I exclaimed that this “slow burn [film] delivers brooding heavy metal horror,” while Joe Lipsett wrote that the “occult film succeeds by teasing and delaying the horror.”
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.”
