Graham King’s GK Films, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and “Paranormal Activity” exec producer Steven Schneider are teaming to produce the psychological thriller “Home.”
Dennis Iliadis directs from a script by Adam Alleca.
Iliadis and Alleca previously teamed on Rogue’s 2009 remake of “The Last House on the Left.”
“Home” follows an unstable young man staying at his dead father’s house. As odd phenomena begin to occur, he struggles to determine whether he’s having a nervous breakdown or his father is haunting him.
King and Tim Headington will produce for GK Films, while Jennifer Killoran and Alex Mace will produce for Appian Way.
