This sounds like a great match of star, director and material.
XYZ Films has announced that Chloë Grace Moretz will star in THE EDGE OF NORMAL, based on the acclaimed novel by Carla Norton. The film marks the first English-language feature for director Carlota Pereda, who won widespread praise for her 2022 psychochiller PIGGY, based on her short of the same title. The script was written by Matt Venne (CREEPSHOW, BAG OF BONES), with revisions by Lori Evans Taylor (FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES). The synopsis: “Reeve LeClaire is still haunted from when she was held captive as a teenager by a sadistic man, but when her psychiatrist asks her to mentor a newly rescued survivor, she’s pulled into a chilling game of cat-and-mouse—one that threatens to drag her back into the nightmare she barely escaped.” We’ll keep you posted on further developments!
