‘Dangerous Games to Play’ Contacts the Other Side [Image]

Deadline shares the first photo from Dangerous Games to Play, a supernatural horror film from director Ángel Gómez Hernández, who will also see his spider-centered Crawlers in theaters this October.

The film follows four high school students who discover a book of supernatural games that allows them to contact the other side.

The unsuspecting teenagers realize too late that the games they’re playing are occult rituals designed by a dark entity to claim their souls.

Filming has wrapped on the film, written by Evan Spiliotopoulos (The Pope’s Exorcist), and is based on Lucia Peters’ novel Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark.

The cast includes:

• Lucas Dutra (Hotel Amor)
• Sara Sedran (The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox)
• Danija Areande
• Shaun O’Callaghan
• Javier Botet (It)

It is one of the early films from former Sony exec Scott Strauss and Thunder Road’s genre label Badlands.

Altitude will present first footage from the film at the upcoming Cannes market.

The film is produced by Scott Strauss (The Pope’s Exorcist) through Badlands, the partnership with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee’s Thunder Road. Backed by Andrew Schwartzberg and Jon Shiffman’s Renegade Capital, the company’s first feature Crawlers, directed by Gómez and starring Matilda Lutz, is due for U.S. release on October 2 via Roadside Attractions and Saban Films.
