‘Izzi’: Horror Icons Isabelle Fuhrman and Michael Rooker Join Possession Thriller

Here’s a really cool project out of EFM that features two big names in horror.

Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan franchise) and Michael Rooker (Slither, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Guardians of the Galaxy) have been set to star in the possession thriller Izzi, reports Deadline.

Fuhrman is to star in a dual role in the film: “After years of separation, Jenny returns home to discover that her twin sister Izzi has been possessed by a malevolent force and has disappeared into the surrounding woods. As a long-buried generational curse resurfaces, Jenny joins forces with her father, John, and local sheriff Blackstone (Rooker) to venture into the cursed forest in a desperate attempt to save her sister.”

Izzi will be directed by twin brothers Jamie Neese and Jason Neese, who previously served as co-executive producers on Netflix hit The Umbrella Academy.

 “Izzi is a possession thriller grounded in character rather than spectacle. We were drawn to the emotional weight of estranged siblings and the idea of a curse that’s passed down, not just through folklore, but through family trauma,” said the duo. “Our goal was to create something tense, atmospheric, and intimate — where the supernatural elements feel inseparable from the characters’ choices.”

K5 International has boarded worldwide sales on the film and is introducing it to buyers at this week’s European Film Market. Filming is scheduled for fall 2026.
