From Black: Anna Camp stars in supernatural horror movie now filming

Deadline reports that Anna Camp of the Pitch Perfect films and the HBO television series True Blood stars in the supernatural horror movie From Black, which went into production in Natchez, Mississippi this week. The narrative feature debut of Thomas Marchese, who previously directed the documentary Fallen, From Black will tell the story of what happens when

a young mother, crushed by guilt and shame after the disappearance of her young son five years previously, is offered a bizarre opportunity to learn the truth and set things right. The movie asks whether she is she willing to pay the terrifying price for a chance to hold her boy again.

Camp is joined in the cast by Jennifer Lafleur (Big Little Lies), John Ales (Euphoria), Travis Hammer (Godless), and Richie Montgomery (Ozark).

Marchese wrote the script with Jessup Flower and is producing the project for Dark Room Films. Vincent Cardinale and K7 Entertainment’s Kelly Frazier are also producing. Camp serves as executive producer alongside Cesar Mercado, Humberto Carillo, and Amp’s James Norrie, Bob Portal, and Inderpal Singh. Amp is handling the world sales.

Marchese had this to say about From Black:

The idea was to take a dark police procedural and cross it into a flat-out terrifying supernatural horror story. And I really feel we have nailed the tone and hit that mark in a big way.”

In addition to the projects mentioned above, Camp’s credits also include The Office, Glee, The Help, Mad Men, The Mindy Project, Vegas, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Wife, 1 Night, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Perfect Harmony, The Lovebirds, Desperados, and A Creepshow Holiday Special.

From Black sounds like it has the potential to be pretty interesting, so we’ll be keeping an eye on it as the project continues to move forward.
