Curry Barker is teaming up with Universal Film Group and Blumhouse Atomic Monster again for his next horror movie. He will write, direct and produce this new film. The project comes after the big success of his film Obsession which did well at the box office. Barker is also getting ready for his supernatural film Anything But Ghosts that stars Aaron Paul, Bryce Dallas Howard, Violet McGraw and himself.

For the new film with Universal, he has written an original story and pitched the idea himself. He said he has wanted to make this film for a long time and feels happy to work again with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal. He called them a place that supports bold and fresh stories which every director wants.

Details of the new horror film are still kept secret. The story will be based on Barker’s own idea and is expected to bring a new type of scare for viewers. Obsession was also made with Blumhouse and Universal and it was loved for its fresh take on fear. People in the industry have praised Barker for his style and for understanding what audiences want today.

NBCUniversal Entertainment Chairman Donna Langley said he has a special skill to connect with current trends and is changing how films are made. James Wan and Jason Blum from Blumhouse Atomic Monster also said they are proud to work with him and bring his ideas to fans. The new movie will be produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider from Spooky Pictures and by Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath from Divide Conquer.
