The horror genre is one of the more innovative genres in film. New film Let’s Scare Julie to Death embodies this concept. As first reported by Deadline, the film will be adopting an experimental filming technique, opting for the horror to unfold in real-time.

The plan for Let’s Scare Julie to Death is to be a 90-minute film, shot in one continuous take, similar to Alfred Hitchcock’s murder-mystery Rope, and haunted house flick Silent House from 2011. This film will serve as writer/director Jud Cremata’s first forray into feature filmmaking, but his history with documentary style television shows should help, as they are mostly unscripted.

The story of Let’s Scare Julie to Death follows a group of girls at a Halloween Party. They decide to scare the host’s new neighbor, a girl who is quiet and keeps to herself. Uniquely, the script will only serve as “a blueprint”. The goal is the film to be improvised, trying to create more realism, and a candid atmosphere. Cremata will produce alongside Mark Wolloff. Blitz Films’ Eryl Cochran and Nick Sarkisoy also produce.

As for the casting news, Isabel May will portray Taylor, host of the party. May stars in the comedy Netflix series Alexa & Katie. This show received a nomination for an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Series. Taylor’s pals will be portrayed by Odessa Adlon, Brooke Sorenson and Jessica Sarah Flaum. The title character has yet to be cast. Appearing as Julie’s parents are Blake Robbins and Valorie Hubbard. Robbins appeared in the American remake of Martyrs as Dad while Hubbard starred previously in Resident Evil: Extinction as Ma and in True Blood.
