I wasn’t aware they were making a feature film version of Stephen King’s awesome short story Gramma until just now, but according to Lilja’s Library Universal is producing and it’s called Mercy.
Stars include Mark Duplass, Dylan McDermott, Frances O’Connor, Chandler Riggs, Joel Courtney, Shirley Knight and Chris Browning. Peter Cornwall is directing and while A Haunting In Connecticut wasn’t groundbreaking or anything, I was surprised by how much I liked it. I certainly think Cornwall has an eye for creepy sets and knows how to build a tense atmosphere so I’m absolutely looking forward to this.
The story, if you don’t know, is about a boy who is left home alone with his terminally ill grandmother. As the night wares on he begins to suspect that she might be more malevolent than the average grandma.
If you wanna see this right now, you’re in luck. The cruelly under-appreciated 1980s revival of The Twilight Zone aired an excellent adaptation of the story already.
