See The ‘Cold Skin’ Creature In Early Concept Art
Frontier(s) and The Divide director Xavier Gens, who is also in development on James Wan’s House of Horrors, has shared some early concept art from his long gestured adaptation, Cold Skin, which once had 30 Days of Night’s David Slade attached to direct.
“Cold Skin” is the debut novel by Catalan author Albert Sánchez Piñol. The novel chronicles the stay of an unnamed weather official on a remote island in the south Atlantic close to the Antarctic Circle. The film adaptation was written by 28 Weeks Later‘s Jesus Olmo.
“On the edge of the Antarctic Circle, in the years after World War One, a steamship approaches a desolate island far from all shipping lanes. On board is a young man, on his way to assume the post of weather observer, to live in solitude at the end of the earth. But on shore he finds no trace of the man whom he has been sent to replace, just a deranged castaway who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. For the next twelve months his entire world will consist of a deserted cabin, trees, rocks, silence and the surrounding sea. Then night begins to fall…”
Director Randall Okita impressed us back in 2022 with the home invasion thriller See for Me, and today brings a first look at Okita’s next horror movie. This one is titled Menace.
Deadline reports that Isabel May (1883) will star in sci-fi horror movie Menace, which comes courtesy of Image Nation Abu Dhabi and the genre label Spooky Pictures. This is the third feature from Image Nation and Spooky Pictures, behind Watcher and Late Night with the Devil.
The site details, “May stars as a research student who has a psychotic breakdown and is remanded to the custody of her aunt and uncle in a small town.
“When strange things start happening around her and people start disappearing, she isn’t sure what is real or what is her imagination.”
AGC International will launch sales at the Cannes Market this month.
Of particular note for horror fans, Menace is written by Thom Eberhardt, the writer of 1984 fan favorite Night of the Comet. This is the first movie Eberhardt has penned in two decades, and his other credits you will no doubt recognize include Sole Survivor (1984), All I Want for Christmas (1991), Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992), and Captain Ron (1992).
Eberhardt also directed Sole Survivor, Night of the Comet, and Captain Ron.
Roy Lee and Steven Schneider will produce Menace for Spooky Pictures.
