Skill House, which is being directed by Spiral: From the Book of Saw writer Josh Stolberg, is already deep into production.
Said to be “a dark satire of social media and influencer culture, exploring how far people will go for online fame,” Stolberg teases just how gory Skill House is going to be…
The filmmaker alleges that a kill scene was so disturbing that “the camera operator became so nauseated that he passed out and the camera crashed to the ground.” Filming had to break for 30 minutes but thankfully, “He’s okay now but… get ready for some crazy shit!”
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, so you have to think there’s going to be top-notch gore!
The Wrap previously shared the synopsis…
“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.”
Social media personality Bryce Hall headlines in a new horror movie with TikTok star Hannah Stocking and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson costarring. Paige VanZant and Neal McDonough also appear.
Yikes!!! We shot a kill scene last night and the camera operator became so nauseated that he passed out and the camera crashed to the ground. Had to stop down for a 1/2 hour. He’s okay now but… get ready for some crazy shit! pic.twitter.com/YJH2tlruTE
