They can get into the mythology of it. Who runs the whole thing? Or the first season can be like the movie. Then the second one can be about a group trying to take them down. Or in-fighting within the group and using the clueless would-be victims as pawns.
We all know who runs it: wealthy elite who get their kicks out of killing the poor.
I could definitely picture it being a good fit for the binge format, and potentially do the ensemble cast thing where we get multiple POV's. The only thing that scares me is the article saying "elevated thriller." The whole elevated horror thing has already jumped the shark, and it's not a label I'd attach to or expect from Eli Roth.
. Nature in title is not a lie. Horror casuals will hate this movie. I had people walk out the theater tonight in my viewing. Art house film goers will enjoy this. Not sure if I would recommend anybody to watch it. Basically an asmr slasher film, with really no action or thrills. There is one kill in the movie that is dope, but the movie is a slow burn for sure. Definitely take a nap before watching the movie.
They made 5 Scanners films?
I saw this one about a year ago. Good stuff.
I think it's one of the Shudder joints like Late Night with the Devil. They do a limited theatrical release and then the movie usually pops up on their streaming service a month later.
I'm waiting on it too..
I was enjoying it the past 6 months because of all the newer joints. Many of which get theatrical releases as @storyteller mentioned.
