Hulu and Blumhouse Television have set a female coming-of-age story titled “Pure” as the September installment for their horror anthology “Into the Dark,” TheWrap has learned exclusively.
Here’s the official description for the movie: In this female coming-of-age horror story, several teen girls perform a secret ritual at a purity retreat and, when one of them begins to see a supernatural entity, the terrifying question emerges, what is more dangerous: the demon they’ve unleashed, or the pressure to conform to their fathers’ expectations.
The installment, premiering September 6, stars “NOS4A2” actress Jahkara Smith, as well as McKaley Miller (“MA,” “Hart of Dixie”), Scott Porter (“Friday Night Lights,” “The Good Wife”), Annalisa Cochrane (“Cobra Kai,” “Heathers”), Ciara Bravo (“Wayne,” “The Long Dumb Road,” “To the Bone”), Jim Klock (“Wounds,” “Son of the South”) and T.C. Carter (“Blocks,” “Assassination Nation”).
Hannah Macpherson will direct “Pure” and also wrote the teleplay for the movie from a story by Paul Fischer and Paul Davis.
“Into The Dark” is a horror event series from Hulu and Blumhouse TV, which includes 12 feature-length installments, released each month and inspired by a holiday, featuring the “Blumhouse signature genre/thriller spin on the story.”
