After joining forces with Walter Hamada to oversee their horror branch three years ago, Paramount Pictures has renewed its multi-year production deal, per Variety, and their upcoming slate includes Who Can Kill a Child? remake Suffer Little Children.
The deal renewal arrives on the heels of the trailer launch for Paramount and Hamada’s 18Hz Productions’ Primate.
Suffer Little Children, a remake of the 1976 Spanish horror film by director Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, will be written and directed by Rodrigue Huart.
Plot details for the remake are under wraps, but the original film was based on the novel El Juego De Los Niños by Juan José Plans. It follows a British couple who travel to a remote island for vacation, but they soon realize that all the adults on the island have been killed by crazed children. Serrador’s film favored psychological horror, instilling palpable dread in this killer kid flick.
Huart won the Midnight Short Jury Award at SXSW 2024 for his modern vampire story Transylvanie and has previously helmed horror movies Trigger and Real.
Also part of Paramount and 18Hz’s upcoming horror slate is Paramount’s untitled horror movie from The Autopsy of Jane Doe director André Øvredal, and Familiar from The Coffee Table director Caye Casas and writer Julien Magnat. While plot details are under wraps on Ovredal’s latest, the latter follows a single mother who inadvertently invites an evil entity into her home.
It’s a packed slate ahead for Paramount and Hamada, one that’s keeping them very busy in horror.
