Horror writer/director Kyle Edward Ball has announced his follow-up to “Skinamarink” just in time for spooky season.
As announced Monday, Ball will partner with A24 for his upcoming feature, “The Land of Nod.” While plot details are being kept under wraps, the film will be an original horror feature. Ball wrote the screenplay and will direct.
Josh Safdie is producing, along with Eli Bush, Elijah Wood, and Daniel Noah, Central’s Ronald Bronstein, SpectreVision’s Lawrence Inglee, Tatiana Bears, and Bruno Vernaschi Berman. Theo Vieljeux will executive produce. A24 will handle the global release of the film.
“Skinamarink” was released via IFC Midnight in 2023 after premiering at festivals the year prior. The microbudget feature cost only $15,000 to make and landed a limited theatrical release before streaming on Shudder. Jaime Hill, Lucas Paul, Ross Paul, and Dali Rose Tetreault starred in the film that IndieWire critic David Ehrlich deemed a “fucked-up tone poem.”
“Skinamarink” is set in 1995 and centered on two kids who wake up in the middle of the night to find out that their parents have disappeared.
Ball previously teased that he wanted to explore a reimagining of the Pied Piper legend and had also been weighing a project about three strangers who see the same house in a dream. It’s not yet known whether these concepts will make it into the A24 film.
