Set to Not Screen for Critics in Early 2010…

In advance of its apocalyptic, not-screening-for-critics Doomsday, which I’ll now likely be catching opening day, comes word, per Variety, that The Descent writer-director Neil Marshall has been inked by Doomsday‘s distributor and Universal’s genre arm, Rogue Pictures, to write and direct a Western-horror hybrid entitled Sacrilege. Marshall grew up in England watching oaters and horror films in equal measure, and calls his movie Unforgiven by way of H.P. Lovecraft, with that grim, gritty setting and a horror element nobody has seen before.” One thing is likely… critics won’t see that horror element in advance, either.
