‘Terrifier’ Creator Damien Leone to Direct ‘Tortures of the Damned’ for Lionsgate!

While horror fans anxiously await Terrifier 4, it seems creator Damien Leone already has his next project lined up, as THR is reporting that the filmmaker’s next feature will be Tortures of the Damned for Lionsgate!

While there are no plot details, the outlet notes that the film will be, “different in tone from Terrifier and will sport a heftier budget than the low-budget Terrifier franchise.”

Could that mean something a little less gory and more serious in tone? We have no idea, but we can’t wait to find out! Whatever the case, with that title, we have no doubt the film will land squarely in the horror genre.

Lionsgate did, however, post a teaser poster on X (see below). The image sure looks like some sort of monstrous wings. Perhaps vampire or gargoyle wings? We can certainly dream about the latter, as there are not nearly enough good gargoyle horror movies…or any, for that matter. How cool would a bloody, gargoyles creature feature from Leone be? Fingers crossed.

Leone will write, direct and produce the film.

Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are also producing through Ghost House Pictures alongside Lionsgate.
