‘Scream’ Star Dermot Mulroney Enters ‘Compound 9,’ a Psychological Horror Thriller Inspired by ‘The Ninth Configuration’!

Daniel Webber (Billy the Kid, 11.22.63, The Dirt), Dermot Mulroney (Scream VI, Insidious: Chapter 3) and Katheryn Winnick (Vikings, Big Sky, The Marksman) are leading the cast of psychological horror-thriller Compound 9, reports Variety.

The film is inspired by William Peter Blatty’s 1980 cult film The Ninth Configuration, for which The Exorcist author won the Golden Globe for best screenplay.

Set in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, Compound 9 follows a group of Marine veterans suffering from severe psychological trauma who are confined inside a remote government facility.

Webber, pictured below, stars as military psychiatrist Dr. Mark Connors, who arrives to evaluate the patients, only for his investigation to draw him into an increasingly disturbing experiment that blurs the boundaries between trauma and madness.

Mulroney plays Col. Dr. Morton Phillips, the austere psychiatrist who runs Compound 9 and its experimental treatment program, while Winnick stars as Riley, a guarded nurse with a troubled past and a complicated connection to the compound.

It was written by Vila, Andy Weiss (White Boy Rick), and Ari Schlossberg (Hide and Seek). Now shooting in Miami, the film is being directed by Rodrigo H. Vila ().
