Fresh off this year’s fun horror-comedy Willy’s Wonderland, Variety reports that Kevin Lewis is next directing a horror project titled The Accursed, with Mena Suvari starring.

The film is being pitched as follows…

“Sam Raimi and Dario Argento had a love child… and James Wan was its uncle.”

Sarah Grey (Netflix’s “The Order”), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect franchise), Meg Foster (The Lords of Salem) and Sarah Dumont (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse) also star.

The lengthy plot synopsis details, “When her estranged mother dies by suicide, Elly (Grey) is forced to return home from volunteering as a nurse abroad. Determined to sell the family home and get her life back on track, she finds herself haunted by terrifying visions of her mother. Consumed by guilt and eager for a quick escape, Elly accepts the offer from Alma (Suvari) as a temporary caregiver to look after the comatose Ms. Ambrose (Foster) in her isolated cabin. But Alma has nefarious plans for Elly and she soon is confronted with Mary Lynn (Knapp), a witch hunter who is hellbent on lifting the demonic curse that has plagued her family for generations. Elly discovers that Ms. Ambrose has a history in the black arts, as well as a mysterious connection to Elly’s mother. As she tries to unlock the truth with her friend Beth (Dumont), it becomes all too clear that Elly was lured to the cabin under false pretenses.”

Rob Kennedy (Midnight Man) wrote The Accursed.
