Edmonton-based filmmaker Kyle Edward Ball turned his creepy Skinamarink — filmed in his childhood home on a shoe-string $15,000 — into a sleeper horror hit last year.
For a follow-up, he’s teaming up with A24 — the studio behind Oscar darlings Moonlight and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, as well as horror hits Hereditary and The Witch — according to Variety.

The horror film will be called The Land of Nod, and though no plot details are available, it will be produced by “Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush and Josh Safdie under their new production banner Central Pictures; SpectreVision’s Lawrence Inglee, Daniel Noah and Elijah Wood; as well as Tatiana Bears and Bruno Vernaschi Berman,” the Variety article says.
Variety listed Skinamarink as it’s top horror film of last year.
The movie follows two kids who awake alone in a house and are haunted by unseen forces.
The idea spawned from submissions to Ball’s YouTube channel where he would film recreations of nightmares as submitted by viewers.
