Loosely based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, In Darkness centers on an American student (Winstead) who starts to work for an English tutor, only to find out that she and the children she is looking after are being haunted.
Megan Holley (Sunshine Cleaning) wrote the screenplay which looks to offer up a fresh spin on the oft-adapted novel.
Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism) is attached to direct, with production looking to get underway later this year in Europe.
Winstead will next be seen in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, while her role in Sundance hit Smashed has been met with high praise.
