Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting have announced the acquisition of “Devon,” the feature directorial debut of Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, best known for her role on “Jersey Shore.” The film, a found footage horror thriller, is set to premiere on SCREAMBOX on November 12, 2024.
The official trailer for “Devon” was exclusively released by Collider earlier today, providing a glimpse into the chilling narrative.
In the film, a group of friends embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind a mysterious disappearance, only to find themselves ensnared in a horrifying enigma. The full synopsis reveals more about the gripping plot: “Following their daughter’s mysterious disappearance, the parents of Devon have never ceased their search for answers. After the asylum from which she vanished was condemned, their quest for the truth seemed destined to remain unresolved.”
Years later, a cryptic website enlists five brave individuals to investigate the abandoned asylum and uncover what happened to the girl. Unbeknownst to them, they are embarking on a treacherous journey into the sinister depths of the asylum, armed only with their equipment, leading to a terrifying and potentially deadly experience.
Farley, a longtime fan of the horror genre, takes audiences on a suspenseful journey that draws inspiration from real-life fears of the unknown. She is also preparing for the upcoming season of “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” set to premiere later this year.
Expressing her excitement about the project, Farley stated, “I am thrilled to be diving into the horror space alongside Cineverse and SCREAMBOX, who have the industry and fandom knowledge to ensure that ‘Devon’ reaches the right audience. As a longtime reality TV veteran, I’m excited to kick off this new chapter in the horror movie genre and hope that ‘Devon’ is just the beginning.”
The North American distribution rights for “Devon” were negotiated by Brandon Hill, Executive Director of Acquisitions, along with Farley.
For viewers interested in streaming, SCREAMBOX is accessible on multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Prime Video, YouTube TV, Comcast, Cox.
