Composer Émoi is set to reteam with director Kevin Lewis on the upcoming horror movie The Accursed. The film starring Mena Suvari, Sarah Grey, Alexis Knapp, Meg Foster and Sarah Dumont focuses on a young woman who  is forced to return home from volunteering as a nurse abroad after her estranged mother dies by suicide and finds herself haunted by terrifying visions of her mother. Consumed by guilt and eager for a quick escape, she accepts the offer as a temporary caregiver to look after a comatose woman in her isolated cabin, where she is confronted by a witch hunter who is hellbent on lifting the demonic curse that has plagued her family for generation. Rob Kennedy (Midnight Man) wrote the screenplay. Marcus Englefield & George Lee (Animal Crackers) are producing the project for Storyoscopic Films. Émoi has previously collaborated with Lewis on this year’s Willy’s Wonderland. The Accursed is expected to premiere in 2022.
