Not to be confused with TWC-Dimension’s Kristy, which held the same title, Magnet Releasing announced today that they have acquired worldwide rights to Satanic, a new supernatural teen-horror film currently in script stage.
“Satanic follows a van full of young, college-aged coeds who are visiting old Satanic Panic-era sites in Los Angeles. They end up following the creepy owner of an occult store home, only to find themselves saving a suspicious girl from an apparent human sacrifice. Only this “victim” turns out to be much more than dangerous then the cult from which she escaped.“
Satanic will be the feature film debut of director Jeff Hunt, a veteran television director with experience on shows such as “Fringe,” “Hawaii 5-0,” “CSI,” “Nikita,” “Person of Interest” and “Dark Blue.”
Bizarrely, Anthony Jawinski, who penned the aforementioned Kristy, penned the screenplay.
Satanic is a co-production with MarVista Entertainment and Circle of Confusion, producers of “The Walking Dead.”
