HITMAN Director Will Helm HOUSE OF HORROR Produced By James Wan

If you asked me what’s 2011′s scariest film in my book, my answer would be Insidious directed by James Wan. This past summer, the teaser poster and synopsis for HOUSE OF HORROR which Wan produces, hit the web. At the time, Spanish filmmaker Javier Gutierrez was attached to direct this project, scripted by Max La Bella. But Gutierrez is not involves with this anymore.
Because today, Shocktilyoudrop heard that Xavier Gens who gave you Frontier(s), the game-based flick, Hitman, and the upcoming apocalyptic horror, THE DIVIDE, is going to direct HOUSE OF HORROR
Check out the film’s synopsis again after this jump..

The Devil made me do it.

The House of Horror is a horror-thriller that centres around a gruesome crime scene. The film is shot with a blend of found footage, interrogation video, news cameras and classical cinematography. The film focuses on the aftermath of a horrific massacre; five college students, brutally murdered inside a decrepit, abandoned home.

We are thrown right into the mix as the lead Detective, Mark Lewis, and the police department’s psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein, question a suspect. The young man at the centre is John Ascot, bound by handcuffs in a mobile command station. During the interrogation, John explains everything leading up to the deaths of his friends.

We discover that they were amateur ghost-hunters, seeking out paranormal phenomenon at the abandoned house believed to be haunted. What started out as a harmless activity turned into something truly terrifying and more than they ever could bargain for. John explains to the police that he isn’t responsible for his friends’ deaths, but rather, it was the house. He tells them he believes the house is a gateway to hell; a place of concentrated evil.

We slowly witness an eerie change in John’s demeanour through the course of the movie. Things take a disturbing turn when John hints at the notion that he is possessed by the Devil. Detective Lewis and Dr. Klein are forced to unravel the mystery of how John’s friends were murdered. All this leads to a stunning revelation about the man they’ve been interrogating and a gut-wrenching conclusion.
