Ti West Adapting BEDBUGS For Tango Pictures
Ben H. Winter's bestselling horror novel Bedbugs is coming to the big screen. Deadline reports that Tango Pictures has bought film rights to the bestselling horror novel. Horror writer-director Ti West (The Innkeepers, The House of the Devil) is on board to write the script.
The book tells "a tale of urban paranoia set in Brooklyn that follows the Wendt family as they move in to a new home and suddenly start to encounter strange occurrences. Susan Wendt begins suffering what she suspects are bedbug bites, but she’s the only one getting bitten and suddenly fears she may be going crazy. That’s until she’s confronted with a more menacing explanation for the strange things happening to her and the family."
The project is reportedly a slow burn in the same vein as West's films, and will be light on the gore factor, but heavy on the character and supernatural thrills. I like West's films, so this should be a cool project.
Have you read this book? Do you think it will make a good feature film?
