Clearly wishing to achieve the same levels of success as this year\u2019s Obsession<\/a> and Backrooms<\/a>, Dylan Clark, who also got his start on YouTube, will be in the director\u2019s chair, working from a script by Chris Thomas Devlin.<\/p>\n Executive producers of the remake include the 1999 film\u2019s creators Eduardo S\u00e1nchez, Daniel Myrick, and Gregg Hale, as well as original film cast members Joshua Leonard and Michael C.
