The Defector Horror Remakes

Image "Halloween", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Friday the 13th" have long become cult, and therefore the producers do not leave these franchises alone, churning out remakes, reboots and sequels. However, sometimes studios turn to lesser-known horror films for ideas, and Cornerstone Films has chosen exactly this path, taking on the work on a remake of the mystical horror film The Defector.

The main advantage of the original is the fact that director Peter Medak did not rely on the boo-effects popular today, but tested the viewer by gradually building up tension. In the center of the Defector's events is a musician who has lost his wife and daughter. In order to somehow distract himself from painful thoughts, he leaves his old dwelling and moves to a large estate, which has been empty for the past 20 years. Soon the hero begins to suspect that he is not alone in the house and that his neighbor is the ghost of a child who once died here.

One of the producers of the remake will be Joel B. Michaels, who also worked on the 1980 tape.“I am overjoyed at this unique opportunity to reimagine the iconic film The Defector, which I produced many years ago. It's nice to know that the film has inspired a whole galaxy of filmmakers ", - said Michaels.

The new version will be directed by Anders Engstrom, known for his work on television: he directed individual episodes of the series Taboo, Hannah and See. The script for the remake was written by Tab Murphy (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Filming will take place in Ireland.
