Bloody Disgusting has learned that Intrepid Pictures’ horror-thriller The Bye Bye Man, which recently wrapped shooting in Cleveland, will now be released in theaters June 3, 2016 through STX Entertainment.
It stars Michael Trucco, Douglas Smith, Cressida Bonas, Lucien Laviscount, Doug Jones, with Carrie-Anne Moss, and Faye Dunaway.
The Bye Bye Man recounts a series of terrifying events experienced by three Wisconsin college students, played by Smith, Bonas and Laviscount. Trucco plays the brother of one the students, whose mind has been invaded by the unstoppable Bye Bye Man (Jones).
“Set in 1990s Wisconsin, the film follows three college students who move into an old, off-campus house, where they find themselves preyed on by a malevolent supernatural entity called “The Bye Bye Man”. They must find a way to save themselves while keeping the whole thing secret to protect anyone else from becoming the entity’s next victim.”
Stacy Title directed from Jonathan Penner’s script, based on Robert Damon Schneck’s short story “The Bridge to Body Island.” Trevor Macy produced for Intrepid, and Jeffrey Soros and Simon Horsman produced for Los Angeles Media Fund.
Intrepid has produced a few solid horror films from The Strangers to Safe House, Oculus and Before I Wake, starring Kate Bosworth and Thomas Jane.
STX most recently released The Gift and The Boy, and is set to release Hardcore Henry in a few weeks.
