Canadian director Philip Carrer (IF A TREE FALLS) will be re-teaming producer Chad Archibald for IN THE HOUSE OF FLIES, based on a script by Angus McLellan. A teaser poster for the effort can be found below. Here is the synopsis:
Set in the “retro” nineteen-eighties, IN THE HOUSE OF FLIES focuses around an abducted couple forced to tackle their way to freedom. Alone, isolated and locked in an undisclosed, suburban basement, Heather and Steve find themselves surrounded by numerous and mysteriously sealed suitcases – each containing valuable clues to their very own survival. Both Heather and Steve must exploit what remains of their bruised intellect and depleting sanity, to escape the authority of an unidentified and brutal kidnapper. Let the countdown begin.
Carrer, also known as PGC, had this to say: “When I read the script, I felt so drawn to the situation the characters were in. Unlike previous horror films with people ‘trapped’ in a situation, this film is largely based on character instead of shock factor. Angus wrote the script back in 2003, before the SAW films or other films involving the ‘trap’ situation.”
The horror/thriller is currently in pre-production, with cameras ready to roll in the spring. Lindsay Smith and Ryan Kotak will star.
