Indie horror game Mouthwashing<\/em> is making the jump to film. Sony Pictures Entertainment has acquired the rights to the game from developer Wrong Organ, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, and Karyn Kusama, director of Jennifer’s Body<\/em> and The Invitation<\/em>, is attached to direct.<\/p>\n The project will be written by Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, the screenwriters behind The Invitation<\/em>, and produced by Scott Derrickson, the director of The Black Phone<\/em> and Sinister<\/em>. Sony is likely hoping the combination of horror talent and hit video game IP will repeat the success it saw with Resident Evil<\/em>. Zach Cregger’s adaptation of Capcom’s survival horror series was not only a critical hit, but also a financial success.<\/p>\n Mouthwashing<\/em> is much more grounded than Resident Evil<\/em>‘s goofier flavor of horror. The game follows the crew of a stranded spaceship as they slowly lose their grip on reality. It isn’t chock-full of jump scares, but its heavy themes and surreal imagery make it an interesting choice for a film adaptation.<\/p>\n The film doesn’t yet have a release date, but the game has gotten a lot easier to play if you want to experience the story before you watch. Mouthwashing<\/em> launched on PC in 2024 and as of today, it’s also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S and through Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
