A24 has unveiled its next nightmare.
The indie favorite is teaming up with Chernin Entertainment for “Altar,” from “Sputnik” director Egor Abramenko and starring “Good One” breakout Lily Collias and newcomer Hudson Behling.
January Jones (“Mad Men”), David Krumholtz (“Oppenheimer”) and Kyle MacLachlan (“Fallout”) round out the cast.
The film is written by Will Soodik (“Westworld”) and based on a short story by Philip Fracassi. While plot details are being kept close to the vest, the project is described as a horror film that follows the summer of a young boy, forced to grow up faster than he ever imagined.
