Noah Hawley to Direct English Remake of Argentinian Supernatural Horror Film 'Terrified'

Noah Hawley, known for his work on "Alien: Earth" and "Fargo," is slated to direct an English-language remake of the 2017 Argentinian supernatural horror film "Terrified." The original movie, directed by Demián Rugna, depicts violent, supernatural occurrences that plague a small neighborhood in Buenos Aires, focusing on a police detective and a trio of paranormal investigators attempting to understand and combat the escalating phenomena.

According to GamesRadar+, Hawley is developing the project with Guillermo del Toro, who is attached as a producer. The remake is expected to retain the core premise of the original, which garnered significant acclaim for its unsettling atmosphere and effective scares. The involvement of both Hawley and del Toro suggests a high-profile adaptation of the cult hit.

"Terrified" (original title: "Aterrados") gained international recognition for its unique approach to supernatural horror, earning a dedicated fanbase. The remake aims to introduce the story to a broader English-speaking audience while potentially expanding on its themes and mythology under Hawley's direction and del Toro's oversight.
