MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY

Blumhouse Television president Chris McCumber added, “We’re excited to see Ariana’s fresh, bold and spirited energy that won her an Oscar in a role that is completely different. And with the gifted filmmaking team of Bridget and Danielle, the talent in front of and behind the camera is exceptional.”

The movie is described as a “tense, psychological, and sensuous thriller that will leave hearts pounding and mouths watering.” In the film, DeBose will play an “ambitious chef who opens her first “restaurant — a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate — where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor and crushing self doubt. But the pressure heats up thanks to the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.”

Jason Blum is serving as a producer on the feature for Blumhouse. Other producers include Alex Scharfman, Lucas Joaquin, and Drew Houpt via Secret Engine, Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath for Divide/Conquer, and McCumber and Jeremy Gold for Blumhouse TV.
