According to Variety Jeffrey Dean Morgan is toplining Lionsgate’s horror thriller Dibbuk Box with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert producing via their Ghost House Pictures shingle.
Danish director Ole Bornedal (Just Another Love Story, The Substitute) is directing from a script — inspired by true events — by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White.
Morgan will star as a recently divorced father whose youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. As his daughter’s behavior becomes more erratic, the father senses a dark presence building until he discovers that the box was built to contain a dibbuk — a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.
Dibbuk Box is set for an October 28th theatrical release.
