Katie Silberman (Booksmart) penned the script based on the spec by Shane and Carey Van Dyke. While not much is known about the movie, it’s said the thriller is set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert.
On top of directing and starring in this new flick, Wilde is also producing.

Wilde is perhaps best known around these parts for The Lazarus Effect which centered on a medical researcher Frank, his fiancee Zoe, and their team who achieve the impossible: they have found a way to revive the dead. After a successful, but unsanctioned, experiment on a lifeless animal, they are ready to make their work public. However, when their dean learns what they’ve done, he shuts them down. Zoe is killed during an attempt to recreate the experiment, leading Frank to test the process on her. Zoe is revived — into something evil.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of horror violence, terror and some sexual references, it sports a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: The Lazarus Effect has a talented cast and the glimmer of an interesting idea, but wastes it all on insipid characters and dull, recycled plot points.
