The plot sounds interesting but I hope they don't make it too cliché. We've seen so many 'creature terrorizes town' stories. Fingers crossed for something fresh!

As an aspiring filmmaker from Mumbai, I really admire Madeleine's range. From horror to animation - she's killing it! When will we get such versatile young actors in Bollywood?

Shooting in New Mexico? The landscape will add great atmosphere! Reminds me of those classic American horror settings. Wonder if they'll release it in India around Halloween time 🎃

The Black Phone was superb! If this movie is half as good, it'll be worth watching. Hollywood is producing such quality horror content while we're still stuck with cheap jump scares in India.

Interesting that she's executive producing too! At such a young age, she's taking control of her career. More power to her! Maybe we'll see her direct someday?
