Marcus Nispel, the director of The Texas Chainsaw Masscare and Friday the 13th remakes, is returning to the horror genre to direct Backmask. Insidious and The Lords of Salem producer Steven Schneider will also be producing this film, which sounds a bit like the plot behind The Lords of Salem:
"During a sex, drugs, and rock-fueled party, six small-town teenagers find an old vintage record and decide to play it backwards in order to listen for any subliminal/satanic messages. Lo and behold, a seemingly malevolent spirit quickly infiltrates the group, wreaking havoc as it moves from one body to another. Eventually, however, it's revealed that the spirit in question is actually trying to convey a message....and that the real source of horror isn't particularly paranormal, but rather something (or someone) much closer to home."
According to Bloody Disgusting, filming begins this July. While there are no casting details, announcements should be made shortly if filming begins so quickly.
