The film started principal photography in San Antonio, Texas this week, stars The House of the Devil‘s Jocelin Donahue, pictured, and Jesse Bradford.
Written by Final Destination scribe Jeffrey Reddick, “the story centers on a young woman (Donahue) who discovers an ancient evil stalking its victims through the real-life phenomenon of sleep paralysis. After losing someone close to her, she teams up with a local artist (Bradford) to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the unexplained death. After she is finally exposed to the terrifying truth by an eccentric expert on sleep disorders, her investigation unknowingly puts her best friend and everyone close to her in danger.”
