Catherine Corcoran of the cult favorite slasher Terrifier has signed on to star in the horror film Do Not Watch alongside Ezekiel Ajeigbe (The Giant), Alix Angelis (The Cleansing Hour), and Ella Cannon (Trees of Peace). Deadline reports that Do Not Watch will mark the feature directorial debut of veteran cinematographer Justin Janowitz, whose credits include multiple episodes of Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries.
Ryan Toyama wrote the screenplay, but details on the plot are being kept under wraps. The story is said to dig into “a decades-spanning mystery revolving around an unexplained phenomenon known as The Bunker Anomaly.”
JP Ouellette, Dylan Matlock, and Nico Falls are producing Do Not Watch for Circa 1888. Toyama serves as an executive producer, and so do James Colton, Bo Colton, Jonathan Boateng, Javier C. Ortiz, Graeme Laronge, Jasson Walker, and Skip Waugh.
Janowitz provided the following statement:
The screenplay for Do Not Watch is one of the most interesting, compelling, and intricate structures in the horror and suspense space. The way the story seamlessly weaves between decades to build on the mythology created is masterful. The feelings of unease begin on page one and builds through to the end.”
Ouellette added:
Horror films are just as prestigious as award-driven dramas if done with great detail. With the meticulous directing plan that Janowitz has executed, based on one of the most genuinely scariest scripts I’ve ever read, this film will be added proof of that successful path A24 & NEON has set forth in recent years with this genre.”
