Heather Graham stans, stand up! She’s starring in a new untitled horror film alongside Judah Lewis, and directed by the one and only Joe Lynch.
Loosely based on Lovecraft’s short story The Thing On The Doorstep, the film is an erotic body-swapping horror. Graham plays a psychiatrist who becomes obsessed with a young client with multiple personalities.
Bruce Davison (X-Men), Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do!), and horror legend Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator) also star in the film.
The film, which recently finished shooting in Mississippi, is produced by Crampton, Bob Portal, Inderpal Singh, and Joe Wicker for genre specialist producer and seller Amp, in association with Mississippi-based Eyevox Entertainment. Brian Yuzna (Re-Animator) serves as an executive producer, as does Joe Lynch, alongside Rick Moore for Eyevox, and James Norrie and Nina Kolokouri for Amp. Amp is handling worldwide sales.
Dennis Paoli, who wrote the screenplays for Lovecraft adaptations Re-Animator and From Beyond, penned the screenplay.
Joe Lynch said of the film:
“When I read Dennis Paoli’s adaptation of the story, I felt like there was a fantastic opportunity to update and subvert Lovecraft’s often old-fashioned sensibilities in a way that felt modern, relevant and even dangerous, with a pinch of 90’s neo-noir and a dash of eroticism to spice up the stew. Working with Amp and such a fantastic cast – including Heather, Judah, Barbara, Bruce and Johnathon – we’re so excited that this sexy, funny, scary film isn’t just a modernized love letter to Lovecraft, but the kind of provocatively entertaining “sin-ema” I believe audiences are salivating for!”
