About two years ago, it was announced that Blumhouse would be developing and producing eight standalone horror/thriller movies for the premium network Epix. Epix has since been rebranded as MGM+, but the deal with Blumhouse is still in place – as Coming Soon has confirmed by unveiling the poster for the next Blumhouse and MGM+ collaboration, the thriller Unseen! You can check out the poster at the bottom of this article. Coming Soon also got the first look at a batch of images from the film, and you can see those by clicking over to their site.
Paramount Home Entertainment will be giving Unseen a digital and VOD release on March 7th, and then the movie will begin streaming on MGM+ in May.
Directed by Yoko Okumura (50 States of Fright: Ball of Twine – Kansas) from a screenplay by Salvatore Cardoni and Brian Rawlins, Unseen has the following synopsis: Two women form an unlikely connection when a depressed gas station clerk Sam, receives a call from Emily, a nearly blind woman who is running from her murderous ex in the woods. Emily must survive the ordeal with Sam being her eyes from afar using video call.
The film stars Midori Francis, Jolene Purdy, Missi Pyle, and Michael Patrick Lane.
Blumhouse founder Jason Blum executive produced Unseen alongside Alexander Kruener, Jeremy Gold, and Chris McCumber.
The previous movies released through Blumhouse’s deal with Epix / MGM+ have included A House on the Bayou, American Refugee, Torn Hearts, Unhuman, The Visitor, There’s Something Wrong with the Children, and the French production The Deep House, which Blumhouse and Epix acquired for North American distribution after its release in France. The Deep House is the only one of the movies I have seen so far, but I intend to watch them all at some point – just like I watched all of the Into the Dark movies Blumhouse produced for Hulu and all of the Welcome to the Blumhouse movies they produced for Amazon.
