Production begins this week in Syracuse, NY, on The Wretched Devours, the sequel to 2020\u2019s sleeper hit The Wretched <\/a>from filmmakers Brett and Drew Pierce, and it has found its lead stars.<\/p>\n

Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Katie Parker (Next Exit, \u201cThe Fall of the House of Usher\u201d) and Sam Huntington (The Last Stop in Yuma Country<\/a>, Fanboys) will star in the body horror-heavy sequel.<\/p>\n

The writing\/directing\/producing Pierce brothers are both back for The Wretched Devours. Other returning producers are Chang Tseng, Ed Polgardy, and Travis Cultreri.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re beyond excited to return to the terrifying world of The Wretched as we deepen the mythology of our\u00a0favorite witch,\u201d said Brett and Drew Pierce.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re turning the body horror and grisly frights up to an eleven\u00a0with this one!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the original movie, a teenage boy, struggling with his parents\u2019 imminent divorce, faces off with a thousand-year-old witch who is living beneath the skin of the woman next door.<\/p>\n

The Wretched Devours broadens that scope and the terror to an entire town. It follows a small-town deputy as he\u2019s pulled into a rash of missing children\u2019s cases, only to discover that the skin-changing Wretch is back and has been preying upon the families of his community for a century.<\/p>\n

The sequel will feature practical effects by Autonomous FX (Weapons, \u201cMindhunter\u201d) and cinematography by returning D.P. Conor Murphy (Oh, Hi!, The Wretched).<\/p>\n

Katie Parker is no stranger to Mike Flanagan fans; the actor first exploded onto the scene as the lead of Flanagan\u2019s directorial debut Absentia and has been a regular fixture of his works. Parker can be seen in all of Mike Flanagan\u2019s hit Netflix anthology series. She\u2019ll also be seen in the upcoming horror movie The Beldham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sam Huntington most recently can be seen in a major supporting role in\u00a0Bride Hard opposite Rebel Wilson. He\u2019s\u00a0also well known for starring in Syfy\u2019s Being Human, which ran for four seasons, and recently appeared in Warner Bros.\u2019\u00a0Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood, and Superman Returns.<\/p>\n

IFC Midnight\u2019s creature feature\u00a0The Wretched made headlines with a $4 million worldwide box office haul back in 2020, with much of the film\u2019s success coming from the drive-in circuit. Stay tuned for more on the sequel, The Wretched Devours, as it arrives.<\/p>\n

If you missed\u00a0The Wretched back in 2020, you can stream the film on Hulu, Netflix, and Shudder now.<\/p>\n
