Darren Bousman (Saw 2-4) continues to be one of the most interesting and exciting filmmakers working in the genre space; I recently labeled last year’s Abattoir “the best 2016 horror movie you didn’t see” here on Bloody Disgusting (as of this week, it’s now available on DVD), and that’s a statement I stand by. What’s next for Bousman? A female-driven psychological thriller!
Deadline reports today that Bousman will begin shooting the thriller St. Agatha this week in Atlanta. The script was penned by Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels and Clint Sears, and though plot details are under wraps at the moment, Bousman teased:
I have always been drawn to narratives with strong female characters. In St. Agatha the writers have constructed a literal convent of interesting and unique women put in dramatic, suspenseful and even tragic positions.
St. Agatha will be produced by Srdjan Stakic and Michaels. Dragon Blood Productions Seth Michaels are executive producers.
