Mysterious VHS tapes are at the center of upcoming horror movie Play House, with Deadline reporting that Divide/Conquer (M3GAN, Heart Eyes) will executive produce the project.
In the upcoming film from director Nicolas Curcio, “Elliot buys a dilapidated house in an attempt to prove to his ex he can finally be a serious adult. While renovating the property, he uncovers VHS tapes of an unaired children’s television show hidden in the basement.
“What initially appears to be a disturbing DIY kids’ program soon pulls him into obsessive madness, revealing that the tapes — and the house itself — may have a far more sinister backstory.”
Will Harrison (Daisy Jones & The Six), Jessica Sula (Split), Jordan Gonzalez (The Long Walk), and James Urbaniak (Oppenheimer) will star in the “micro-budget” horror movie.
Deadline reports that Play House is currently in production in Los Angeles.
Nicolas Curcio wrote the screenplay with Kirby Gladstein. Deadline notes, “Play House was the inaugural winner of Fantastic Pitches, a micro-budget genre initiative spearheaded by Fantastic Fest and Chroma, which awarded the team $100,000 in production financing.”
