Writer and director Richard J. Bosner has assembled a killer cast for upcoming cult horror Devoted, with Mena Suvari (American Beauty, All You Need Is Blood), Elizabeth Marvel (House of Cards) and Scream‘s Skeet Ulrich set to lead the feature debut.
Reporting the news exclusively earlier today, Variety reveals that Alicia Sanz (El Cid), Nick Stahl (Sin City, What You Wish For) and horror legend Lin Shaye (Insidious, Scared to Death) are also set to star.
In Devoted:
The film follows a woman (Suvari), who takes guardianship of her estranged sister (Marvel), the only survivor of a recent mass cult suicide. Yet her happiness at their reunion soon turns to terror as her sister’s influence turns her and her husband’s (Ulrich) life into a savage nightmare.
Devoted is based on Bosner's short Devotee which premiered at the 2024 Hollyshorts Film Festival and was an official selection of the 2024 Beyond Fest.
Here's what the filmmaker had to say in a new statement:
Devoted weaves my passion for classic horror and the occult into a suspenseful exploration of fear and the extraordinary lengths one will go to protect those they hold dear, […] This story was brought to life by an exceptional cast, whose talent and dedication add terrifying authenticity.
Devoted was produced by Bosner, Robert Ogden Barnum, Eric Binns and Carissa Knol. Danny Chan, Dana Guerin, John Frank Rosenblum, Matt Rhodes, Tyler Transki, Michael Sklut and Sam Maydew serve as executive producers. The film is currently in post-production.
Look out for more updates on Devoted as we get them.
