‘Sick’ – Intense First Clip from New Slasher Co-Written by Kevin Williamson Begins a Home Invasion
Premiering as part of the Midnight Madness slate at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Sick brings Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer writer Kevin Williamson back into the slasher arena. John Hyams (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, “Black Summer”) directed Sick from a story by Williamson, and it’s being described as a “lean, mean, and wickedly timely slasher.” How timely? Sick is set during the pandemic.
Collider has shared the very first clip from the Williamson-penned Sick today, and it’s a tense little scene that we can’t help but compare to Scream. The ring of a doorbell begins a home invasion from a masked killer, who has already found his way inside the house…
Watch Collider’s exclusive clip below and expect more soon.
In Sick, “As the pandemic steadily brings the world to a halt, Parker and her best friend Miri decide to quarantine at the family lake house alone – or so they think.”
Gideon Adlon (Blockers, The Craft: Legacy) and Bethlehem Million (And Just Like That) star.
IMDb also lists Katelyn Crabb as the writer, with Williamson getting story credit.
TIFF 2022 runs from September 8-18, 2022.
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.”
