Ken Kirby (Good Trouble) and Michelle Krusiec (pictured below in The Invitation) are set to star in the supernatural thriller The Uncanny from Abel Vang and Burlee Van, writes Deadline.

The feature, which is a follow up to the Vang Brothers’ 2016 feature Bedeviled (pictured), will be produced by Carr Lee and Stephen Stanley and also feature Ellen Wroe (Final Destination 5).

The story follows social worker Claire Yang, who has been haunted for years by visions that she is only just beginning to understand as a connection to the spirit world. When she is assigned a new domestic abuse case, she discovers that the problem is being caused by a supernatural entity and must use her clairvoyance to help save the family.

“The spiritual medium, often a female, is a horror archetype that has appeared in almost every film where a family is faced with a supernatural haunting and she usually enters the story in the third act to save that hopeless family,” said the Vang brothers in a joint statement. “It is never about her story – she is simply reduced to a plot device. In our film, we’re re-inventing this character as if we’re telling an origin story. We explore her backstory, and all the barriers she must struggle through in order for her to find her place in the world.”

It is slated to shoot in Los Angeles and Orange County.
