This morning we scored the first casting news for Modercine’s latest Jack Ketchum adaptation, Offspring, which will be directed by Andrew Van Den Houten. OFFSPRING features veteran actor of film and television Art Hindle (The Brood, Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and actress Polyanna McIntosh, with Tommy Nelson, Spencer List, Michael Biehn and John Savage rounding out the cast. Read on for the press release.MODERNCINÉ, director/producer ANDREW VAN DEN HOUTEN, and critically acclaimed horror author JACK KETCHUM reunite to bring one of the author’s most haunting and gruesome tales to the big screen. “Who’s the scariest guy in America? Jack Ketchum, quite simply, is one of the best in the business,” says literary master of the macabre Stephen King.
Adapted for the screen by author JACK KETCHUM, who broadened the landscape of our worst nightmares with such stories as “The Lost,” “The Girl Next Door,” and “Red,” comes this shocking tale of rural horror adapted by the master storyteller himself – OFFSPRING. Something deadly has returned to the woods and seaside cliffs of Dead River, Maine. An evil thought to have been exterminated has returned with their insatiable appetite for human flesh. David and Amy Halbard’s family and their house guests are about to come face to face with a blood-thirsty pack of wild children lead by a woman, the last survivor of a primitive, cave-dwelling tribe of predatory savages. The only one who can possibly save them and put an end to the reign of terror is retired sheriff George Peters.
Directed by VAN DEN HOUTEN and screenplay by KETCHUM, OFFSPRING’s cinematographer and producer is William M. Miller, with a score by Ryan Shore and special effects by Anthony Pepe. OFFSPRING features veteran actor of film and television ART HINDLE (The Brood and Invasion of the Body Snatchers) as George Peters and actress POLLYANNA MCINTOSH as Claire. Young TOMMY NELSON plays the heroic Luke and his co-star SPENCER LIST, who stars opposite Michael Biehn and John Savage in the upcoming “Malevolence: Bereavement,” is the sinister Rabbit.
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and a brand new official poster has been unleashed this morning.
Additionally, a new Fall 2 trailer is promised for tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
