Playing off the game, the movie revolves around the shenanigans that ensue when a massive blizzard isolates a small Vermont town, causing simmering resentments to boil over as the oddball townspeople are one by one picked off by a mysterious creature.

Ruben, whose debut feature Scare Me bowed in the Midnight section at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, directs from a screenplay by Mishna Wolff that originated from Ubisoft Film & Television’s inaugural Women’s Film and Television Fellowship, where the author secured a script deal for her pitch.

Producers are Jason Altman, Margaret Boykin and Andrew Lieberman for Ubisoft Film & Television; Matt Miller, Natalie Metzger, and Benjamin Wiessner for Vanishing Angle; and Richardson.
