While Development Hell usually unearths horror movies that never got made, occasionally we unpack how indie films actually make it to the finish line. We do this by picking the brains of some of the most exciting voices in horror. Today host Josh Korngut logs on with filmmaker Willam Brent Bell to discuss his new film ORPHAN: FIRST KILL. A prequel to the 2009 Dark Castle Entertainment horror classic ORPHAN, Bell's new film stars Julia Stiles and Isabelle Furhman. In the film, "Esther's terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit Orphan. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. Yet, an unexpected twist arises that pits her against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous 'child' at any cost."You can watch ORPHAN FIRST KILL through limited theatrical release, video on demand, and on Paramount+, on August 19, 2022.Follow William Brent Bell on Twitter.
