Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see.

Amazon is making quite the statement. As mentioned earlier, just the other week saw the release of “The Boys”, which was already renewed for a second season, while they’ve also given “The Expanse” and “Carnival Row” new season orders. They also have James Wan producing a television series based on the ’90s slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer. and just announced “Truth Seekers”, the long gestured horror-comedy starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as paranormal investigators. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It appears Amazon is mining all kinds of horror properties, including Paul W.S. Anderson’s classic sci-fi horror Event Horizon. Amazon is teaming with Paramount Television to develop a series adaptation of the 1997 film, reports Variety who also adds that Adam Wingard is set to executive produce and direct the potential series!

Wingard, who recently directed the film Godzilla vs. Kong, is part of the Bloody Disgusting family having headed our V/H/S and directed a segment of V/H/S/2. He also directed The Guest, You’re Next, Blair Witch and the live-action version of Death Note.

The film’s title referred to a spaceship that disappeared after testing an experimental gravity drive capable of creating an artificial black hole that was meant to allow the ship to travel to distant points in the galaxy. A rescue crew and the gravity drive’s inventor are sent to investigate after the ship mysteriously reappears, only to discover that the ship traveled to a hellish dimension outside of the known universe that infects the ship with a sinister sentience, leading to multiple deaths.

From creator Jesse McKeown (“The Umbrella Academy”), Netflix’s sea creature series “Below” is swimming our way this October, and the official teaser trailer has arrived.

Josh Hartnett stars in Netflix’s upcoming series “Below” alongside Charlie Heaton, Mackenzie Davis, Rohan Campbell, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, and Willow Kean.

It follows a grizzled fisherman (Josh Hartnett) who must fight to protect his family and his community when a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town.

Entertainment Weekly previews, “Thankfully, Calvin’s not alone on his quest to confront the unknown. In an effort to keep his son Wade (Charlie Heaton) and their family safe from harm, he joins forces with marine researcher Fonda (Mackenzie Davis) to learn more about the creature that lurks below the waves and, along the way, their island’s hidden history.”

McKeown teases, “Folks here have been dealing with unexplained phenomena and tragic events for hundreds of years. Killer storms. Maritime disasters. The collapse of the cod fishery. People going hungry. Surviving the winter here can be a horror movie in and of itself. So, these strange events fit into a long history of unimaginable difficulties.”

He notes that the series is inspired by the work of Steven Spielberg and John Carpenter, two filmmaking titans who similarly inspired Apple TV’s hit horror-comedy “Widow’s Bay.”

The six-episode limited series arrives on Netflix on October 8, 2026.
