The James Wan-produced, Will Cannon-directed haunted house thriller formerly known as HOUSE OF HORROR has already got a good thing going cast-wise with the lovely Maria Bello and rising star Frank Grillo. Today brings the news that Cody Horn (pictured) has come onboard the film to play a ghost hunter – the most adorable ghost hunter ever, at that.
Horn had multi-episode stints on “The Office” and “Rescue Me,” and recently broke out in the films MAGIC MIKE and END OF WATCH.
The film centers on the aftermath of a horrific massacre: five college students, brutally murdered inside a decrepit, abandoned home. Fresh on the scene, detective Mark Lewis and the police department’s psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein (Bello), question one of the few survivors who explains they were amateur ghost-hunters, seeking out paranormal phenomenon at the abandoned house, believed to be haunted. But what started out as a harmless activity turned into something truly terrifying, and the suspect claims the responsibility doesn’t lie with any of the inhabitants, but with the house itself.
The film starts shooting next week in Baton Rouge.
