With Mother’s Day finally securing distro, Repo! The Genetic Opera still rocking its way to cult fame, and of course fans still scouring the Saw sequels for every little clue they could find to make sense of the story, we’re all pretty excited for Darren Bousman’s next feature which focuses on the much talked about 11 11 11 phenomenon.

So what is the 11:11 phenomenon? It’s all centered on the emergence of that number in people’s lives that alerts them to angels or spirit guardians trying to communicate with them. Conspiracy theorists also point to the number 11’s involvement in historical events.

“With ‘Saw’ and ‘Repo,’ my career has been about finding new ways to freak people out; that’s what I want to do with this,” Bousman said in an earlier interview. ‘We want to take this phenomenon and give it horrific purpose.”
