Home Sweet Home, the survival horror video game from Thai developer Yggdrazil Group, is getting a movie adaptation with Home Sweet Home: Rebirth, Deadline reports today.
Alexander Kiesl and Steffen Hacker directed the live action adaptation of the video game property, the outlet notes this morning, with Vertical picking up the U.S. rights.
Home Sweet Home: Rebirth is headed our way in April 2025.
In the film, “Jake, a cop, is thrust into an alternate realm called The Hindrance during a deadly mall shooting. With the help of a mysterious Novice Monk, Jake must race the clock to save his wife, Prang, and stop an evil occultist, Mek, from opening the Gates of Hell.”
The official Wikipedia page for the video game adds further context, “The Spirit World, also known as the Hindrance, is a mysterious realm in which all of the major deities of the universe reside. It is also where those who have committed horrible sins end up as Specters after their deaths to be eternally punished for their crimes in life. The Hindrance is the place where spirits linger between life and death, unable to move on.”
The upcoming horror movie’s cast includes Michele Morrone (365 Days), William Moseley (The Chronicles of Narnia saga), Yaya Urassaya Sperbund (Brother of the Year), and Alexander Lee (Moorin School: Saga of the Brave).
“I am incredibly excited to partner with Vertical for the North American release of Home Sweet Home: Rebirth. Their commitment to delivering compelling narratives aligns perfectly with our vision for this film,” producer Dean Altit said in a statement.
“Home Sweet Home: Rebirth is a gripping, visual feast. We’re looking forward to introducing this international action-thriller to North American audiences,” adds Vertical’s Rachel White.
