Hulu Sets Female Coming-of-Age Horror Story ‘Pure’ as September’s ‘Into the Dark’ Movie (Exclusive)
Hulu and Blumhouse Television have set a female coming-of-age horror story titled “Pure” as the September movie for their horror anthology “Into the Dark”, TheWrap has learned exclusively.
The film focuses on several teen girls who perform a secret ritual at a Purity Retreat. 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.”
This month’s movie, “Culture Shock,” was released July 4 (and inspired by Independence Day), and August’s film, “School Spirit,” (which celebrates the first day of school) will launch Aug. 2.
