Rufus Sewell and Anne Heche to Dabble in The Occult

By Uncle Creepy
March 5th, 2012

If there's anything that we're thankful for around here, it's the stupidity of the human race. People are always looking to stick their noses where they don't belong, and the horror genre is here to chop them off!

According to Variety producer Mickey Liddell (The Grey) has set up The Occult with Rufus Sewell (pictured), Anne Heche, and newcomer Alycia Debnam-Carey in final negotiations to star in the thriller, which Christian Christiansen (The Roommate) will direct.

The story follows a small commune dealing with a prophecy that predicts the coming of the devil's daughter. As the shared 18th birthday of five girls approaches, a sequence of murders causes panic to spread through the community, making some wonder whether the prophecy is coming true or if someone is silencing those who know too much.

The flick will go into production this month in North Carolina. More as it comes.
