Joe Dante enters the Labirintus

Paging David Bowie...




Joe Dante, best known for Gremlins, has signed on to direct supernatural chiller Labirintus. Although casting has yet to begin, production on the film is due to get underway early next year.

The film revolves around a paranormal investigator - hopefully one who's more Van Helsing than Derek Acorah - who teams up with a psychiatric researcher in order to chart the ruins of a shady old Soviet research facility. Lying underneath Budapest in Hungary, this subterranean labyrinth is riddled with all manner of malevolent spirits, and our dynamic duo soon find themselves questioning their very sanity.

Dante is no stranger to horror, and although Labirintus sounds like a different strain of fright flick for the veteran director, we're very curious to see how this one pans out. In the meantime, you can see Dante in action in the horror anthology Tales of Halloween, currently available on VOD.
