The upcoming horror film Play House from Blumhouse has received a theatrical release date. The film is already receiving positive attention ahead of its theatrical debut.
Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster have announced that Nicolas Curcio’s debut horror film, Play House, will arrive in theaters on April 2, 2027. Universal Pictures International will oversee international distribution.
Written by Curcio and Kirby Gladstein, Play House stars Will Harrison, Jessica Sula, Jordan Gonzalez, and James Urbaniak.
The film’s official logline reads, “While renovating a dilapidated house in hopes of winning back his ex, Elliot (Will Harrison) discovers VHS tapes of a forgotten children’s TV show, Mr. Morton’s Monster Alley. As his obsession with the mystery behind the tapes grows, the sinister world of the show begins bleeding into his own life with horrifying consequences.”
Play House is a micro-budget production that won the inaugural Fantastic Pitches competition. The film also marks the latest collaboration between Focus Features, Blumhouse Atomic and Divide/Conquer, following Curry Barker’s record-breaking hit Obsession.
Focus Features and Blumhouse Atomic have a promising future ahead
Other upcoming collaborations between Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster include Barker’s highly anticipated horror comedy Anything But Ghosts and Josh Giuliano’s Occupant.
Written by Barker and Cooper Tomlinson, Anything But Ghosts takes place in the same fictional universe as Obsession. It follows two fake paranormal investigators who end up facing real ghosts after the consequences of their scam finally catch up with them. Anything But Ghosts arrives in theaters on May 7, 2027.
Speaking with the Raiders of the Lost Podcast earlier this year, Tomlinson described Anything But Ghosts as “like if Key and Peele walked into Hereditary.” He added, “It’s a buddy comedy, you know, about these two guys, and it turns really scary.”
Meanwhile, Josh Giuliano is set to write and direct Occupant, his next project after his debut feature, River, which premiered at TIFF. Plot details of the upcoming film remain under wraps.
