Kiah Roache-Turner is set to direct the creature feature road horror pic that he promises will “traumatize people”.
Don’t Look, but Kiah Roache-Turner (Sting) is set to direct the road horror pic that we’re hearing will traumatize the hell out of you all.
Variety reports that the Australian filmmaker is reteaming with his Sting star Alyla Browne (pictured above in Thrash) for the “scary” flick.
Previously entitled From Below, the film is set against the backdrop of the Australian outback and “follows 15-year-old Riley (Browne), travelling across the outback with her father when they come across two seemingly abandoned cars at an isolated desert crossing. When an invisible force drags her father away, Riley finds herself in a life-or-death struggle against a terrifying creature that is only visible to its next victim.”
Holy shit. That sounds fantastic. I’m thinking The Hitcher meets It Follows with that premise. When done well, road horror movies are some of my favorites. The isolation, the pursuing threat, the endless road deeper into a nightmare…yeah, that’s the good stuff.

George Pullar (Evil Dead Burn), Masha Basman and Stephen Peacocke also star.
Roache-Turner told Variety that Don’t Look is “scary as all hell” with scenes that are “going to traumatise people very deeply.”
Tempt me with a good time, why don’t you.
If that wasn’t enough to get you curious, Roache-Turner said regarding the creature that it “feels truly original, terrifying and disturbing in a way that I’ve never seen portrayed in a monster movie before.”
