Haxan has Despair

Last Updated on July 28, 2021

We got the heads up today from, and I’m not making this name up, Atchity Entertainment International (AEI) that their client Phil Daay just got another genre script sale under his belt. Haxan Films has optioned the project called DESPAIR’UL, and it sounds pretty damn cool.

[It] follows a group of students who unwittingly unleash a curse that causes the physical manifestations of their darker selves to attack them from every reflective surface.

Daay’s previous effort was called LEFT IN DARKNESS, and also has a sweet vibe to its concept:

On the night of her 21st birthday, Celia is drugged, raped and dies of an accidental overdose at a wild college frat party. But for some, death is only the beginning: Trapped in a netherworld between sanctuary and damnation, Celia must now battle the demons — including hordes of horrific Soul Eaters — that prowl the Afterlife.

Not bad, eh? Even better is that LID stars Moncia Keena, so I’ll definitely track that one down. Gotta wish the best of luck to Daay with DESPAIR’UL and we’ll share more on it as we get it.
