Director Randall Okita (See for Me) is back this year with new movie Menace, which was notably written by Thom Eberhardt, the writer of 1984 fan favorite Night of the Comet.
Variety reports this morning that IFC Films and Shudder have acquired the North American rights to the upcoming film, which is expected to see release sometime in 2025.
Isabel May (1883) will star in sci-fi horror movie Menace, which comes courtesy of Image Nation Abu Dhabi and the genre label Spooky Pictures. This is the third feature from Image Nation and Spooky Pictures, behind Watcher and Late Night with the Devil.
“The film follows a research student (Isabel May), who has a psychotic breakdown and is remanded to the custody of her aunt and uncle in a small town.
“There, strange things begin to transpire and people start disappearing, leaving her uncertain about what is real or what is simply a figment of her imagination.”
This is the first movie Thom Eberhardt has penned in two decades, and his other credits you will no doubt recognize include Sole Survivor (1984), All I Want for Christmas (1991), Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992), and Captain Ron (1992). In addition to writing the scripts, Eberhardt also directed aforementioned films Sole Survivor, Night of the Comet, and Captain Ron.
Roy Lee and Steven Schneider will produce Menace for Spooky Pictures.
