Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley (yes, that JWoww) has had her directorial debut, Devon, picked up by Cineverse for an exclusive premiere on SCREAMBOX on November 11.
According to Variety, the found-footage mystery follows a group of friends that tries to learn the truth about an unsolved disappearance but end up at the center of a terrifying mystery.
A more detailed synopsis reads:
“Following their daughter’s mysterious disappearance, Devon’s parents never stopped searching for the truth. After the asylum she disappeared from was condemned, their questions looked like they would remain forever unanswered. Years later, a cryptic website recruits five courageous individuals to explore the abandoned asylum and discover what happened to the girl.
Unaware that they are embarking on a perilous, one-way journey, these individuals delve into the sinister depths with only their equipment, leading to a terrifying and deadly experience.”
Variety reminds that Jwoww is best known for her appearance on the MTV’s Jersey Shore and its spinoff Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
Cast details for Devon are still under wraps, but fingers crossed Farley’s Jersey Shore co-stars make an appearance. Who doesn’t want to see Snooki as a final girl?!
In a statement, Farley expressed her excitement to be joining the SCREAMBOX family:
“I am thrilled to be diving into the horror space alongside Cineverse and Screambox who have the industry and fandom knowledge to see that ‘Devon’ lands in the hands of the right audience […] As a longtime reality TV veteran, I’m excited to kick off this new chapter in the horror movie genre and hope that ‘Devon’ is just the beginning.”
Of course, JWoww isn’t the first reality TV star to make the jump into horror – The Simple Life star Paris Hilton got to meet a grisly death in 2005’s House of Wax, and Keeping Up with The Kardashians’ Kim Kardashian starred in the latest season of American Horror Story, Delicate.
Devon hits SCREAMBOX on November 11. We’ll bring you more exciting news as it rolls in!
