Performing an exorcism can be frightening and dangerous in itself, but add an unfriendly satanic cult knocking at the front door, and you have one horrifying situation on your hands. Such is the plot of Exorcism on Crooked Lake, and it was recently announced that Adam Green will direct this exorcism story from Revolver Picture Company.
Deadline reports that the script for Exorcism on Crooked Lake was co-written by Stacy Chbosky and John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle. The Dowdle brothers have had a hand in writing and directing a number of horror films, including: 2008's Quarantine, 2007's The Poughkeepsie Tapes, and the upcoming thriller, The Coup. Here's the synopsis for Exorcism on Crooked Lake, which is set to begin filming this fall:
"Story follows a middle-aged priest, a younger priest and a female medical student who head to a remote house to exorcise a young pregnant woman only to find themselves under siege from a satanic cult looking to claim the child."
We'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on this project as it develops. Many horror fans are familiar with Adam Green, who wrote all three entries in the Hatchet trilogy, and directed the first two movies. He also wrote and directed 2010's harrowing Frozen and is known for his recent work on Holliston, a TV series he writes, directs, and created, in which he stars alongside horror director Joe Lynch. Green's most recent project is Digging Up the Marrow, a documentary about monster art that takes a fictional turn when the realization that monsters could be real enters the equation.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
