Lionsgate Makes Deal With the Devil

Though it sounds more like a psychosocial headfuck than solid horror, its still worth mentioning that Lionsgate has picked up the rights to Deal With the Devil, the Allias Entertainment comic written by Mike S. Miller according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The story follows a former homicide detective who was at the top of his game until the serial killer he was chasing set him up, injuring him for life and forcing him to retire. Now he spends his time drinking himself to death, until the day the self-same killer shows up at his door, asking for the cop’s help in finding his sister, the only person who ever mattered to him.

Kind of messes with your head right away, no? Trailer Park of Terror executive producer David Tischman is serving producing duties on Deal, alongside Lisa Brause. No telling how this project will develop over time, but you can read the entire first issue over at Newsarama if you’re curious!
