Deadline broke the news on Elijah, the new horror movie from Crawl and The Hills Have Eyes director Alexandre Aja. The story “follows a young boy who invites a mysterious man into his home, believing the stranger to be the key to saving his sick mother. As increasingly disturbing things start to happen around his home, the boy soon realizes that the sinister stranger is not the savior he claims to be.”
How mysterious! What’s this stranger’s deal? Is he a vampire? That was my immediate thought, what with the whole “invited into the home” thing. But that’s just wild speculation on my part. Perhaps this stranger is a Wolfman, or even a Frankenstein. I’ll let the big shots in Hollywood figure this one out. David Goyer and Keith Levine of Phantom Four are producing the movie along with Adam Goldworm of Aperture Entertainment. Aja was recently announced as a director of a Quibi series based on the Japanese horror manga Tomie, but since Quibi is now dead and buried I’m guessing that project is dead, opening the door for Aja to jump into Elijah.
