Genre favorite Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt, Wrong Turn) will star in The Space Between, a liminal psychological horror film set over a single night inside a Midwestern shopping mall after closing.
Maffei plays Rick, an overnight security guard who takes a quiet job following a recent personal loss, believing the predictable routine will help him reset.
But when unexplained incidents begin occurring throughout the building, Rick is forced to question his memory and his grip on reality.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in Wisconsin next month, with writer-director Joshua Garity making his feature debut on the project.
“At its core, this is about someone who believes structure will protect him,” said Garity. “When that structure begins to drift, there’s nothing left to hold onto.”
Maffei’s other upcoming genre projects include The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom, Sundown, and Stream 2: Sudden Death.
