The EVIL DEAD veteran returns to terror in the woods with this latest project.

Variety reports that Netflix has grabbed worldwide rights to DON’T MOVE, which Sam Raimi produced with Zainab Azizi and Alex Lebovici (his partners on the upcoming BOY KILLS WORLD). Brian Netto and Adam Schindler, who helmed episodes of Raimi’s 50 STATES OF FRIGHT Quibi series, directed the film from a script by T.J. Cimfel and David White (THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILDREN, INTRUDERS). Kelsey Asbille from FX’s FARGO and YELLOWSTONE and Finn Wittrock (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) star; according to the trade, the film “follows a seasoned serial killer who injects a grieving woman with a paralytic agent while the two of them are isolated deep in the forest. As the agent gradually takes over her body, she must run, hide, and fight for her life before her entire nervous system shuts down.” A debut date has yet to be announced.
