A24has spent the past decade elevating modern horror with an enticing mix of arthouse aesthetics and unsettling stories. From theoccult terror of Ari Aster’sHereditaryto the folkloric horror of Robert Eggers’The Witch, the studio has consistently delivered chilling films that push the boundaries of the genre. Its horror catalog includes a mix of cerebral slow burns, surreal horrors, and dark comedy, with films likeHeretic(2024),I Saw The TV Glow(2024), andBodies, Bodies, Bodies(2022) respectively.
With an eye for auteur-driven projects, A24 has become a breeding ground for visionary directors who take horror in unexpected directions. Whether it’s Ti Westreviving the slasher genrewithXandPearl, or Danny and Michael Philippou turning grief into nightmare fuel for the 2022 box-office hitTalk To Me, A24 has cemented itself as a powerhouse in the genre. Now, another horror director associated with the studio is preparing to close out their own twisted trilogy — and they’re teasing something truly wild for the final chapter.
I Saw the TV Glow Director Reveals Their Next Movie
The Mind Behind The Surreal Horror Promises A Grisly Finale
Jane Schoenbrun, the visionary director behindISaw the TV Glow,has teased their next project will serve as the final entry in their thematicScreenTrilogy. Schoenbrun’s series began with a lonely teenager embarking on a twisted internet game in the low-budgetWe’re All Going to the World’s Fair(2021) and continued withA24’sI Saw the TV Glow, a nostalgic horror-drama that centers around two teenagers in 1996 who bond over a mysterious TV show calledThe Pink Opaque. Unlike the first two films, Schoenbrun has promised thatthe final installment will embrace a more visceral horror style.
Speaking in an interview withCollider,Schoenbrun reveals that their upcoming movie promises to be their most intense yet, describing it in bold terms:“Blood, gore, sex, fluids, nudity.”While details remain scarce, Schoenbrun’s past films have explored themes of gender dysphoria and fractured identity with an eerie and surrealist touch. However, they’ve tended towards a more cerebral take on horror over a blood-soaked saga. Read what they had to say below:
Well, my next movie’s got enough blood, gore, sex, fluids, nudity, etc. for both films. You could take some extra out of the next one and put it into this one, and then you would still have plenty.
Our Take On The Screen Triology’s Finale
A Match Made In Horror Heaven
Jane Schoenbrun’s work is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and pairing their visionary storytelling withA24’s genre-defying horrorexpertise for another project is a dream come true. Their distinct aesthetic and visceral deconstruction of self has made each film a unique experience, and the promise of a blood-soaked, extreme conclusion to theScreen Trilogyis beyond exciting. If Schoenbrun delivers on their promise of “blood, gore, sex, fluids, and nudity,” their next film could easily be one of the most unforgettable horror films of the decade.
