The Black Phone and Sinister duo Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will produce the horror film Bitter Bitter via their Crooked Highway, Deadline reports.
The feature is based on writer-director Charlie Schwan‘s short Harvester, which premiered at this year’s SXSW and took home the Jury Award for Best Texas Short.
The 13-minute short follows a desperate woman and her companion as they bring a bound man to an abandoned house, where they summon a mythical creature. Their dark bargain promises a chance to revisit the past, but the price may be higher than they imagined.
The blurb for Bitter Bitter reads, “On the fringe of an isolated logging town, a grieving teen is drawn to an ancient creature that opens a window to the lost — but with each vision, a hunger grows, gnawing from within, and risks opening the door to something darker…”
Crooked Highway’s latest film, Black Phone 2, grossed over $71 million stateside and $123 million worldwide.
