Radar Pictures has secured the film rights to BlindSide, the world’s first audio-only mobile adventure game. The project will be initially developed as Unseen, a horror feature about a couple who wake up blind in a terrifying world they cannot recognize. The film is a collaboration between Radar Pictures and the Soska Sisters (2019’s Rabid, American Mary).
Unseen follows a Boston couple that wakes up blind without explanation. In their efforts to seek help, the couple encounters a world, unlike the one they knew the night before. As the couple claws their way through their new horrifying reality, fear overwhelms them while sanity begins slipping away. Though devoid of sight they sense the presence of a strange and menacing new species. A species for which light is not a priority.
“We have long admired Radar and the tremendous work they do as industry titans and innovators. We are very excited and honored to be partnering with this legendary team as they delve deeper into the horror genre and break new ground again. Unseen is a horror film experience completely unlike any other before it. This film will truly bring the fear of the unknown to life by putting the focus of storytelling on what you hear,” said the Soska Sisters.
Unseen will be executive produced by Radar’s Ted Field, who has been a part of some major Hollywood projects. His production credits include the Jumanji franchise, the Riddick franchise, Amityville Horror (2005), The Last Samurai, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003). With a resume like that, we can only expect big things for this film!
A script is currently underway and more details will be released on the film as it becomes available. Will this visually vacant film be as innovative and spine-tingling as we think? You know what they say…hearing is believing.
