Since that auspicious picture, Armstrong has dabbled freely in the genre, writing Mark Of The Devil II, Pete Walker’s House Of The Long Shadows, writing and co-directing the undervalued Screamtime and even doctoring the script of Tobe Hooper’s Lifeforce. Now, forty years after his last stint behind the lens Armstrong has finally been lured out of retirement by Paper Dragon Productions to direct a new film, a UK creeper called Orphanage.
“I agreed to be exhumed from retirement because I felt I could trust Paper Dragon Productions to offer me the creative freedom I need to realize a story I’ve wanted to bring to the screen for more than 30 years,” Armstrong said. “I very much look forward to working with them.”

Best known for the 1970 flick Mark of the Devil – a notorious witch-hunt tale controversial (and banned in some areas) for its graphic scenes of torture – director Michael Armstrong has been lured out of retirement to direct the horror film Orphanage, his first feature in over forty years. Orphanage (not to be confused with the 2007 Spanish horror film The Orphanage, produced by Guillermo Del Toro) is based on Armstrong's own screenplay, and will be brought to the screen by Paper Dragon Productions. Paul Horsfield and Jonathan Jones will produce, with Neil Jackson and Kevin James serving as executive producers. Armstrong has gone on record praising the company for allowing him the creative freedom to realize his vision. The plot of Orphanage is still being kept under wraps, being described only as a “psychological suspense shocker.” We'll keep tabs on the production and keep you updated!
