Jason Hawkins, who was featured in the Netflix Original Series Haunted, and who is the mind behind Ouija: A New Beginning, with Tamara Glynn (Halloween 5, Terrifier 2) and Elissa Dowling (Netflix’ Girl on the 3rd Floor) is prepared to bring two new tales of terror to the screen in 2023. With both projects being funded and green lit this month, pre-production is now underway with shoot dates scheduled throughout the summer.
First up is ‘The Night Devours’, a psychologically dark film in which serial killer John Lee Hamilton questions whether he was born bad, or if society molded him into the violent killer he’s become. Filming begins next month, and is expected to wrap up in June. Featuring The Unchained Models, ‘The Night Devours’ promises to be a strange trip into the mind of a psychopath who questions the very nature of his existence.
Coming hot on the heels of ‘The Night Devours’, Hawkins will be leading a team on a film titled ‘Bunnyland’ -slated to begin filming in August of this year. The film stars Sanae Loutsis (Beloved Beast) as Bunny McKee, alongside Jason Reynolds (Friday the 13th: Vengeance), Amber Dalby, Kara Puerschner, Olivia Kovach, and a host of talented actors reuniting from the set of Ouija: A New Beginning. While the film’s premise is being kept tight under wraps, we do have a logline for the Hawkins helmed feature: “They’re not dead. They’re not in hell. It’s not a dream. It’s something much, much worse.”
In addition to the busy film slate, Hawkins will be flying to Texas in June to guest star on a paranormal TV show with details to come. Hawkins’ other work can be found on Netflix, Amazon, Tubi, and a variety of streaming services as well as on DVD through outlets such as Walmart.
