When a family moves into a secluded mansion, they soon find themselves being targeted by an ancient entity taking the form of a giant spider in the skin-crawling horror film Itsy Bitsy.

Opening in select theaters, digital and on VOD everywhere August 30th, 2019, from Shout! Studios, Itsy Bitsy stars Academy Award-nominee Bruce Davison (Willard, X-Men, Longtime Companion) and Denise Crosby (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”, Pet Sematary, 48 Hrs), and is directed by Micah Gallo.

In Itsy Bitsy, “Kara, a private nurse and single mother, moves from the big city to the quiet countryside with her two children, 13-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Cambria, to live with and take care of an elderly man with multiple sclerosis. Things seem normal enough until Jesse discovers a mysterious old relic in the old man’s house, leading to unexpected and horrifying things coming to life.

“A creepy-crawly creature feature based on the centuries-old poem, Itsy Bitsy weaves a sinister web of family drama, personal demons, and a horrifying monster.”

‘Fall 2’ Enlists the Spierig Brothers to Direct Fear-of-Heights Sequel

Published

Fall 2 Spierig Brothers

Fear reached dizzying new heights in Lionsgate’s Fall, a survival thriller from the producers of 47 Meters Down that was released in August 2022. Its surprise success means there are not one but two sequels on the way, and today, the Spierig Brothers have been announced to direct Fall 2.

Michael and Peter Spierig (Lionsgate’s Jigsaw, Winchester, Daybreakers) are set to direct the sequel. Scott Mann, who directed and co-wrote the first film, is returning to co-write Fall 2 with Jonathan Frank.

In Fall, “For best friends Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), life is all about conquering fears and pushing limits. But after they climb 2,000 feet to the top of a remote, abandoned radio tower, they find themselves stranded with no way down. Now, Becky and Hunter’s expert climbing skills will be put to the ultimate test as they desperately fight to survive the elements, a lack of supplies, and vertigo-inducing heights in this adrenaline-fueled thriller.”

It also starred Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen, “The Walking Dead”); Fall was produced & directed by Scott Mann (Final Score) and written by Mann and Jonathan Frank (Final Score).

Fall 2 and Fall 3 will bring back original characters from the first film, while also leaving room for new ones to be introduced. Mann will return to write and direct the third installment.

“We’re extremely excited to helm the second installment of this franchise and bring to life another nail-biting, vertigo-inducing thrill ride,” the Spierig Brothers said in a statement.

Mann added, “I am so proud to hand over the reins to the Spierigs, two highly respected genre directors whose addition will undoubtedly make this follow-up even more of a must-see experience than we already knew it would be. I can’t wait for Flawless to work alongside them and the rest of our fantastic filmmaking team to take the Fall franchise to epic new heights.”

Fall 2 will reunite producers Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions (47 Meters Down), Capstone’s Christian Mercuri, David Haring, and Scott Mann via the Flawless banner. Dan Asma, John Long, and Roman Viaris will also reunite as Executive Producers alongside Capstone’s Ruzanna Kegeyan.

Fall 2 is set to begin shooting in June 2024, so stay tuned.
