Paramount’s ‘Crawl’ Nabs Director Alexander Aja With Sam Raimi to Produce

Published

on

With the success of A Quiet Place, Paramount is convinced that there is worth in investing in the low-budget horror film genre (because of course there is). John Krasinski’s successful horror title is currently being eyed for a sequel, but until then, Paramount is starting the production process for a new (low-budget) horror title with Alexandre Aja.

Aja is a French director best known for the 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes, his foreign horror-flick High Tension (Haute Tension), and Piranha 3D (a horror sub-genre film relevant to this new project).

THR reports that Paramount has assigned Aja to direct their next project Crawl, a horror film about a Floridian woman grieving the death of her father during a category 5 hurricane. Unfortunately, as the young woman’s house begins to flood, she must avoid falling prey to “Florida’s most savage and feared predators” (presumably alligators).

Paramount has designated Sam Raimi and Craig Flores to produce the film. Raimi has shown his worth as a horror producer with the original The Evil Dead and the 2013 remake, along with The Possession. Craig Flores has worked as executive producer for 300 and Pay the Ghost, and produced 300: Rise of an Empire.

Aja has recently finished writing a draft of the script which was first penned as a spec script by Shawn and Michael Rasmussen (The Ward, The Inhabitants). The project was previously in development with Lakeshore Entertainment (Million Dollar Baby, Crank) and Annapurna Pictures (The Bad Batch).

Alexandre Aja is also in charge of directing the first episode of the new VR Horror series “Campfire Creepers”. If you would like to read on the new innovative series and Aja’s episode, you can check our article here.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
