2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Patrick Brice’s There’s Someone Inside Your House

Published on November 24, 2020

We’re beginning to think that filmmaker Patrick Brice is such a fixture in Park City that he deserves a back alley named in his honor. Chances are slim, but he might return for an upteempth time with a project that went into production back in September of 2019. Based on the bestselling novel by Stephanie Perkins, There’s Someone Inside Your House is Brice’s fifth feature film since he broke out with Creep in 2014. Filming took place in Vancouver with Théodore Pellerin, Sydney Park, Sarah Dugdale, Emilija Baranac onboard.

Gist: Described as a combination of two different beloved teenage genres: the slashers that came to prominence in the ’80s and ’90s and the character-driven coming of age classics a la John Hughes’ films and American Graffiti.

Production Co./Producers: 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy, Atomic Monster’s James Wan’s, Michael Clear, Dan Cohen.

Prediction: MIDNIGHT.

U.S. Distributor: Netflix.
