Ti West’s (CABIN FEVER 2, THE ROOST) next flick, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, just got some support as Dark Sky will be picking up the tab for the indie. Here’s the official announcement:

Dark Sky Films has partnered with A History of Violence producers Roger Kass and Josh Braun and horror impresario Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix to produce the original horror-thriller The House of the Devil, written and set to be directed by Ti West. Braun, Kass and Fessenden are producing along with Peter Phok as it was announced today by the MPI Media Group, Dark Sky’s parent company.

The film is in pre-production now in Connecticut, with casting commencing immediately and production anticipated to start in mid March.

Here’s what the flick is about: In the late 1980s, college student SAMANTHA takes a strange babysitting job that coincides with a full lunar eclipse. She slowly realizes her clients harbor a terrifying secret; they plan to use her in a satanic ritual.

Genre producer Larry Fessenden said: “I am excited to be working with Ti again, and with this team and a few more resources. Ti’s ability to root his genre films in the rhythms and details of everyday life is what makes them resonant and startling. This one will be a doozy.”
