Social media personality Bryce Hall is set to star in a new horror movie titled Skill House, with Josh Stolberg (Spiral: From the Book of Saw) on board to direct, and The Wrap updates today that TikTok star Hannah Stocking and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson have also both signed on.
The film’s cast also includes Paige VanZant and Neal McDonough.
Being written and directed by Stolberg, Skill House is said to be “a dark satire of social media and influencer culture, exploring how far people will go for online fame.”
The Wrap reports, “Skill House is being described as a Saw-like take that breaks into the phenomenon of social media fame and culture, offers an unflinching depiction of “clout” and explores the new phenomenon of “influencers”, their fame and what they are willing to do to attain it.”
“Just as this film is the first of a new genre of horror, social media personalities like Bryce and Hannah are a new genre of celebrity,” Stolberg said in a statement to TheWrap. “We are breaking creative boundaries and career boundaries here. Hannah has dynamic talent and encompasses everything this project is about – internet fame and the evolution in the entertainment industry. We are thrilled to have her joining our cast.”
Steve Johnson (Big Trouble in Little China, Ghostbusters, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Return of the Living Dead 3, Species, Spider-Man 2, The Village) is handling the makeup effects.
