James Wan and Shawn Levy To Produce a Creepy Netflix Horror Thriller MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A RANCH
Netflix just closed a deal and acquired the rights to a short story posted on Reddit titled My Wife and I Bought a Ranch. They paid a low-seven-figure for the project, which came from Matt Query. They also brought in Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) and James Wan (The Conjuring) to produce it.
The story centers on a couple, Harry and Sasha, “who find their dream house in a ranch in Idaho. He’s a soldier getting back to life, and they bid what they can, which is a lowball offer. They get the ranch but find they are not alone. Soon they meet their neighbors, who inform them that there is a malevolent spirit in the valley, one that manifests itself by coming to the house in the same manner at the start of each season. There are certain steps that must be followed to keep the spirit out of their house, and the tension and violence grows with each gory ritual as the duel between the spirits and the ex-Marine becomes personal.”
It’s explained that the story is “very compelling and creepy in a Stephen King/M. Night Shyamalan way”. If you want to read the six-part story, you can check it out here. This could make for a great and creepy flick!
