Cineverse has acquired reality star Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s directorial debut “Devon,” which will premiere exclusively on the company’s streaming service Screambox.
The horror film follows a group of friends that tries to learn the truth about an unsolved disappearance but end up at the center of a terrifying mystery. Per the official logline: “Following their daughter’s mysterious disappearance, Devon’s parents never stopped searching for the truth. After the asylum she disappeared from was condemned, their questions looked like they would remain forever unanswered. Years later, a cryptic website recruits five courageous individuals to explore the abandoned asylum and discover what happened to the girl. Unaware that they are embarking on a perilous, one-way journey, these individuals delve into the sinister depths with only their equipment, leading to a terrifying and deadly experience.”
