As a seasoned movie critic who has spent countless hours in dimly lit theaters and emerged with popcorn-stained clothes, I can confidently say that Maika Monroe is swiftly becoming the horror queen we didn’t know we needed. With her captivating performances and knack for choosing projects that twist genre conventions, she continues to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Actress Maika Monroe, famously known for her role in the chilling horror movie “It Follows”, has chosen her next project amidst her packed schedule in the horror genre. This time, she’ll be offering a fresh, eerie interpretation of Bram Stoker’s timeless vampire story. Always drawn to spine-tingling narratives that challenge the norms of horror, Monroe will appear in an “Eden of vampire brides” in an upcoming film from FilmNation Entertainment on the silver screen.
According to Deadline, Monroe is slated to feature in the film titled “Brides” directed by Chloe Okuno (Watcher). At present, this chilling vampire production is still in its initial stages, with Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu of Likely Story serving as producers. They characterize the project as a blend of the “gothic, glamorous, and gory.” The narrative will deviate from Bram Stoker’s Dracula by concentrating on the vampire brides, who cross paths with Monroe’s character Sally Bishop during her vacation with her spouse. Bregman even suggests that the movie could revolutionize the horror genre due to its visionary director and compelling script.
The film “Brides” is poised to reshape the horror genre by incorporating Choe Okuno’s distinctive fusion of feminist ideas and gruesome imagery. The script is both engaging and disquieting in a captivating manner. Chloe consistently infuses her characters with dread and intricacy, and we eagerly anticipate collaborating with her and Maika to breathe life into Sally – or perhaps undeath, depending on the plot unfolds.
As a die-hard horror enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release of “Brides.” Here’s a tantalizing glimpse into its storyline that might just send chills down your spine:
In the 1960s, I found myself immersed in a chilling tale unfolding in an isolated Italian villa, where I, Sally Bishop (Monroe), sought solace with my husband after a harrowing nervous breakdown. The enigmatic Count, our host, seemed to harbor a peculiar fascination for me. However, his world of vampire brides was about to be disrupted by the feminist turmoil I brought along. This perfect, violent Eden was about to experience an unexpected upheaval.
Maika Monroe Has a Busy Horror Schedule
Apart from “Brides,” Monroe will also appear in another remake of a horror film. She is slated to headline in “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle,” a reimagining of the 1992 movie bearing the same title. The plot revolves around Monroe as a recently widowed woman who seeks revenge on another mother, disguised as a nanny. Her goal is to ruin the mother’s life and ultimately take it. In this film, she portrays the antagonist, transitioning from a horror protagonist one can easily support to the terrifying force that haunts them. It appears Monroe aims to expand her horror repertoire by playing both the good and evil characters. Of course, the “It Follows” breakout star will continue to establish herself as a modern horror legend.
A follow-up to the movie “Longlegs” is not out of the question, given its strong performance at the box office. While it’s unlikely that Nicholas Cage, who played the main character, will return due to certain circumstances, the creators appear eager to continue the series with more tales about the skilled FBI agent. The film ends in a way that leaves things open-ended, suggesting there could be more stories to tell. However, director Oz Perkins isn’t necessarily keen on another “Longlegs” project at this time, as it may seem like an overly straightforward response to the movie’s critical and audience acclaim. In the meantime, fans can look forward to seeing Monroe in numerous other movies as the horror genre regains popularity.
