In the vein of Jumanji and Jackson Stewart’s Beyond the Gates, Toby Meakins has just wrapped production on CURS>R, a horror film that reboots an obscure, 1980s survival computer game.
The cast is impressive, highlighted by horror maestro Robert Englund, who played Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street, alongside Asa Butterfield (“Sex Education”, Ender’s Game, Hugo, The Wolfman), Iola Evans (“The 100”, “Carnival Row”) and Eddie Marsan (“Sherlock Holmes,” “The Gentlemen,” “Happy Go Lucky”), reports Variety.
“In pursuit of an unclaimed $125,000 prize, a broke college dropout (Evans) decides to play an obscure, 1980s survival computer game. But the game curses her, and she’s faced with dangerous choices and reality-warping challenges. After a series of unexpectedly terrifying moments, she realizes she’s no longer playing for the money, but for her life. The game locks her into an inescapable cycle of mind-bending horror.”
Rounding out the cast is Angela Griffin (“The Hollow,” “White Lines,” “Harlots”), Kate Fleetwood (“Beirut,” “Deliverers,” “Star Wars: Episode VII”), Ryan Gage (“The Hobbit,” “The Musketeers,” “Endeavor),” and Joe Bolland (“The Trial of Christine Keeler”).
The film hails from producer and financier Anton, whose credits include Greenland, His Dark Materials, and David Bruckner’s Sundance hit The Night House.
CURS>R takes “modern horror…twisting it to pit our hero against 80s nostalgia,” says Stigma Films’ Matthew James Wilkinson.
