Fresh out of the Berlin International Film Festival comes the news that Voltage Pictures will be handling all foreign sales on BEDEVILED, the new horror joint from brothers Abel and Burlee Vang. Word is the flick resembles a cross between HER and IT, for whatever that's worth.
According to Deadline, BEDEVILED follows:
A group of friends download a Siri-like App which, at first, seems like a harmless way to get directions or a restaurant recommendation. But the sinister nature of the App soon reveals itself. The App not only knows each person’s deepest, darkest fears, but is able to manifest these fears into the real world to literally scare the kids to death.
POLTERGEIST star Saxon Sharbino will play the lead in the film, with support from Brandon Soo Hoo, Mitchell Edwards, Jordan Essoe, Carson Boatman, Victory Van Tuyl (below), and Alexis G. Zall.
About the acquisition, Voltage COO Jonathan Deckter beamed:
“After seeing limited footage we jumped on the opportunity to introduce the Vang Bros’ work to the international film community. Bedeviled is in the vein of The Ring and Keep Watching which we just sold to Screen Gems.”
Producer Kirk Roos will oversee North American sales through his Conduit Now company. Stay close for more updates out of BIFF.
