‘The Loch’ Summons the Powers of Revenge
Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively that August Fredrik (actor in Angels & Demons) will see his screenplay go into production sometime this year. Entitled The Loch, here’s the logline for the UK horror thriller: “Lured by the mysterious power of an isolated loch, a group of friends succumb to dark desires for vengeance.” If you read below you’ll find the official synopsis.
“Nikki is a beautiful orphan in her mid-twenties slowly dying of a rare brain tumor. Haunting hallucinations of her dead sister Jeanette drive her to reunite the group of friends who were torn apart after experiencing Jeanette’s accidental death several years earlier.
Four friends venture into the Scottish highlands, following the increasingly delusional Nikki to a surprise location – a mysterious island cabin in the middle of an isolated loch. Peter is haunted by his fear of open water after letting Jeanette slip under in the sailing accident. Peter’s girlfriend Karin, the newcomer in the group encourages him to join the others on the island.
But the water in the loch holds a record of severe atrocities from centuries past and one by one each of the friends is tempted by the water’s uncanny power to summon desires for revenge.
Everyone who touches the loch has a deadly score to settle and Peter must overcome his fear and guilt to face his friends and the water that possesses them.“
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
