Brianne Tju has done quite a bit of genre work in recent years, starting off with an appearance on R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour. Since then, she has been on episodes of Scream: The TV Series, iZombie, Light as a Feather, and the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer TV show, and also worked on the TV movie The Crooked Man and 47 Meters Down: Uncaged. Now she's adding another genre credit to her résumé with Unhuman, which Marcus Dunstan (The Collector) is directing for Blumhouse and the Epix premium cable outlet.
Scripted by Paul Soter of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe (which brought us the slasher comedy Club Dread), Unhuman follows
a group of high school students whose school bus crashes while on a field trip. Relationships are tested amongst the students once they realize they are being stalked by a mysterious attacker who intends to drive them out of their bucolic adolescence and straight into a horrifying fight to survive.
That sounds fun to me, exactly the sort of horror movie I would be glad to tune in for.
Tju is joined in the cast by Benjamin Wadsworth (Your Honor), Ali Gallo (The Carpool), Uriah Shelton (Freaky), Joshua Mikel (The Walking Dead), C.J. LeBlanc (Project Power), Lo Graham (Filthy Rich), Drew Scheid (Halloween 2018), Peter Giles (Dunstan's Into the Dark: Pilgrim), Blake Burt (There's No Such Thing as Vampires), and Dana Wing Lau (Fung Family Feast).
Blumhouse founder Jason Blum is executive producing Unhuman with Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, and Alex Kruener.
Unhuman is one of eight movies Blumhouse is making for Epix. The series is expected to kick off with the premiere of a movie called A House on the Bayou in December. It's not yet known how far apart Epix will be spacing the releases of these movies.
