Tubi announced today at Content Canada that it will expand upon its collaboration with Incendo on an upcoming slate of projects that includes a new film adaptation of Hans Holzer’s The Amityville Curse, which was published in 1981. That book ended up serving as the basis for official franchise movie The Amityville Curse, which was released in 1990.

The new adaptation of Hans Holzer’s novel will be a modern take on the ever popular franchise with a fictionalized story that remains true to the novel. Further ensuring an authentic approach, Incendo has secured the underlying rights to Hans Holzer’s titular original novel from the estate. The film is being adapted by Dennis Heaton (“Motive”) and directed by Éric Tessier (“You Will Remember Me”), with Graham Ludlow (“Terror Train”), Kaleigh Kavanagh (“Terror Train”), Brook Peters (“Terror Train”) and Shari Segal (“Terror Train”) executive producing alongside fellow author and Hans Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, whose contribution to the film pays tribute to continuing the authenticity and legacy of her father’s work.

The Amityville Curse is currently in pre-production and scheduled to film in Montreal, Canada.

Tubi has also announced original horror movie Marry F*** Kill from Ian Carpenter & Aaron Martin (“Terror Train”).

Marry F*** Kill sees five estranged college friends reunite to attend their friend’s funeral after her shocking suicide. Scarred by a past betrayal that led to the ultimate demise of their friendship, an innocent game of Marry F*** Kill spawns into something far more sinister than they could have imagined. Led by an all Canadian cast, the film stars Jedidiah Goodacre (“Descendants”), Maxine Denis (“Party of Five”), Robbie Graham-Kuntz (“Utopia Falls”), Cynthia Jimenez-Hicks (“From”), Deanna Jarvis (“Beauty and the Beast”), and Devin Cecchetto (“The Craft: Legacy”).

Caroline Labrèche (“Rule of 3”) is directing the film, written by Ian Carpenter (“Terror Train”) and Aaron Martin (“Terror Train”). The film will be produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh (“A Love Yarn”); with Executive Producers Ludlow, Brook Peters, and Shari Segal.

“With the anticipated launch of the Tubi Original Terror Train right around the corner, we’re pleased to share that we’re already building upon our content creation partnership with Incendo,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration and working with fantastic Canadian filmmakers and talent on an exciting reimagining of The Amityville Curse and our new original, Marry F*** Kill which mixes elements of ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Euphoria’ in its captivating script.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
