Well, this is pretty huge. Ted Geoghegan, the man behind one of my favorite films of 2015, We Are Still Here, is making a film about a suburban satanic cult? A fast paced, blood splattered, survival horror? I might be dreaming…definitely…and if I am…then this won’t matter fdlsakjfdslafkldsafkdslajfdjslkaf…
Satanic Panic will focus on, “a minimum-wage delivery girl who is forced into a night-long battle with the rich and affluent leaders of a suburban community after discovering they’re part of a satanic cult.”
Geoghegan will once again team up with Dark Sky Films (Willow Creek, Deathgasm, Late Phases), & Snowfort Pictures (Starry Eyes, Cheap Thrills, & A Horrible Way to Die), the same team behind his extremely well received (currently 95% fresh on the Tomatometer), chill-y/ing haunted house hit We Are Still Here.
“I want to make something fun and fast and slick and sick. A film that plays like a good heavy metal song. A film that gets your heart rate up to the point where you burn calories while watching it.”-Producer Travis Stevens.
The screenplay is in the capable hands of Grady Hendrix, author of the best-selling novel Horrorstör (currently in development at FOX). Hendrix, whose mix of comedy & horror according to Geoghegan is “pitch-perfect”.
“Equal parts supernatural horror and survival thriller, the film hinges on smart, funny dialogue and a clever, surprisingly badass female hero. A snarky, splattery takedown of the 1 percent, it places a trod-upon heroine up against the literally soulless societal upper crust. The banter and blood come fast and furious, and we’re hoping to leave very little time to breathe between gasps and gags.” explains Ted.
And in response to that, I say “who needs air?”
Don’t show up late to the Ted Geoghegan train. We Are Still Here is available now on VOD, DVD, & Blu.
