Spooky Pictures and Image Nation have teamed up with Longevity Pictures to bring Home Safety Hotline to the screen – a horror-thriller feature inspired by Night Signal Entertainment’s hit puzzle video game of the same name, according to a report over at The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is set to follow “an unemployed loner who must take a job as a phone operator at a mysterious home security company, only to realize they specialize in protecting customers from horrific monsters that come out at night.”
“This project exemplifies our commitment to supporting bold, original storytelling that resonates globally,” said Ross. “The game’s cult following demonstrates the universal appeal of its concept – and blending tonal influences of Severance and Stranger Things, Home Safety Hotline is analogue horror at its spine-chilling best.”
“Adapting beloved IP into visceral cinematic experiences is what Spooky Pictures does best, and Home Safety Hotline is a perfect example,” said Schneider. “Night Signal Entertainment tapped into something primal – the terror of what might be lurking in the supposed safety of our own homes. With Michael Matthews at the helm and Nick Tassoni’s sharp and hair-raisingly entertaining adaptation, we’re building a fun horror thriller that will have audiences screening their calls long after the credits roll.”
