Director Nick Simon's Remotely-Filmed UNTITLED HORROR MOVIE Was Shot While in Lockdown

Nick Simon, director of The Girl in the Photographs and the TV movie Truth or Dare, has finished shooting and principal photography for his upcoming remotely-filmed horror-comedy, Untitled Horror Movie. Simon directed and co-wrote the film alongside Luke Baines (Shadowhunters, Under the Silver Lake), which was shot entirely during lockdown with the entire writing, pre-production, and filming process taking place remotely.

Deadline reports the following synopsis:

Set on computer screens and found footage style content, the movie follows six actors who decide to shoot their own horror movie as their hit TV show is on the brink of cancellation. In their search for a plot, they unintentionally summon a spirit with an affinity for violence, who starts picking them off one by one.

The cast includes writer Baines, who stars alongside Claire Holt (47 Meters Down, The Vampire Diaries), Darren Barnet (Never Have I Ever, Agents of  S.H.I.E.L.D, American Pie), Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy, Hamilton), Katherine McNamara (Arrow, The Stand, Shadowhunters), Timothy Granaderos (13 Reasons Why), Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor, Sunnyside), Kevin Daniels (Sirens, Ladder 49), and Sohm Kapila (9-1-1, Never Have I Ever).

This is a format that we have seen slowly emerging in the past few years, in films like Searching and Unfriended, but this past few months has been the perfect breeding ground for more films and stories to come about. Do you think this sounds like a film you might enjoy?
