Director Rob Savage (The Boogeyman, Host) is adapting Bird Box author Josh Malerman’s horror novel Incidents Around the House, and the feature has found both its title and its young lead star.
Eight-year-old Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid) is set to lead Other Mommy, Universal and Atomic Monster’s new supernatural horror film, Deadline reports.
The story follows “8-year-old Bela (Clark), who lives in a home strained by her parents’ troubled marriage, only to see her life further upended by a sinister entity she calls ‘Other Mommy.’ When this malevolent presence emerges from her closet, persistently asking, ‘Can I go inside your heart?’, Bela refuses. But soon, Other Mommy’s manifestations become increasingly aggressive, threatening the safety of Bela’s family.”
It’s a haunted house tale told from the perspective of the young girl, bringing a new angle to the subgenre.
Clark joins previously announced cast members Jessica Chastain (IT: Chapter Two, Crimson Peak), Jay Duplass (“The Creep Tapes“), and Dichen Lachman (“Severance”, Jurassic World: Dominion).
Writer Nathan Elston (“Succession”) adapted Malerman’s horror novel for the big screen.
Atomic Monster/Blumhouse produces in association with Malerman’s Spin a Black Yarn. James Wan is producing with Alayna Glasthal overseeing for his Atomic Monster. Executive producers include Savage, Malerman, Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Ryan Lewis.
Incidents Around the House was published by Del Rey last summer. “This book is the monster that lives inside your closet,“ fellow author Grady Hendrix raved about the Bram Stoker Award nominee and Locus Award Finalist.
