This morning I learned that Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, the French directors behind Inside, Livid, Among the Living, and Leatherface, have just started production on the aquatic horror The Deep House. In doing some research, I also discovered that the duo have already completed a demonic horror story about a demon named Kandisha.
In the film, which could release this year, “It is summer break and best friends Amélie (Mathilde Lamusse), Bintou (Suzy Bemba) and Morjana (Samarcande Saadi) hang together with the neighborhood teenagers.”
“At night, they have fun sharing goosebumps stories and urban legends. But when Amélie is assaulted by her ex, she remembers the story of Kandisha, a powerful and vengeful demon. Afraid, upset, she summons her.”
“The next day, her ex is found dead. The legend is true and now Kandisha in on a killing spree. The three girls will do anything to break the curse.”
The film also stars Nassim Lyes, Sandor Funtek, and Walid Afkir.
With Kandisha being completed, expect more news on a release and festival premiere later this year.
