One of the film's producers was quoted saying: "We are very excited for Woodlake and the amazing team assembled to reinvent this classic horror literature into a contemporary frightening feature film."

This is said to be the first in series of "elevated genre pics to be developed and financed by Woodlake."
Fans may remember the short story being adaptated in the 1985 gory horror comedy Re-Animator starring Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott and Barbara Crampton from director Stuart Gordon. That movie would go on to spawn two sequels.
This is said to be "a contemporary reimagining" of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story with the same name.
