Ron Howard’s production outfit Imagine Entertainment has optioned novel The Last Days Of Jack Sparks with a view to adapting it as a feature film.

British author Jason Arnopp has been hired to adapt the screenplay of his own 2016 debut.

The plot follows titular pop culture journalist Jack Sparks who is researching a book on the occult. After sparking a Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism, Sparks is found dead in mysterious circumstances.

Howard commented: “Jack Sparks is a tremendously fascinating, entertaining, and entirely contemporary movie character.

“His journey into the supernatural and his clashes with those forces and with himself are hilarious, disturbing, exciting and surprising as hell. I couldn’t put the book down and I believe it will be a blast for audiences to experience the movie version.”

Roberth Heath will direct from a script by Jason Arnopp.  The film is going to get a push at the American Film Market later this month.

In 2002, 11 months before the invasion of Iraq, the military captured and imprisoned a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a secret underground base. This film documents the final four days of that experiment. ‘Ghost whisperer’ Hayley Sands is brought to Stormhouse by the government to make contact with the captured entity. Her arrival triggers a series of events which lead to the entity’s escape, plunging the base into a horrific nightmare.

Originally screened at 2011′s London Film4 Frightfest, Stormhouse is very much like a supernatural version of The Thing but with the budget of an episode of Dr. Who – and that’s not actually a bad thing! Penned by the UK’s very own Jason Arnopp, who previously wrote a couple of Doctor Who audiobooks for the BBC and Big Finish, the film is an enjoyable modern ghost story, complete with some very eerie sequences (including a spooky use for a...

Stormhouse

Stars: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters, Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn | Written by Jason Arnopp | Directed by Dan Turner

It’s 2002, some eight months before the (second) invasion of Iraq, and the military have captured and caged a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a top secret underground military installation. Looking to make contact with the entity, they bring in “ghost whisperer” Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn). After witnessing the facilities so-called experiments, Sands realises that the military in Stormhouse are a law unto themselves and tries to blow the whistle. When her actions are uncovered by the soldiers running Stormhouse they punish her by throwing her into the cage where the entity is kept, and that’s when everything goes to hell – literally.

Following last year’s supernatural thriller Stormhouse writer/director Dan Turner’s new film, The Man Inside, has an altogether more down to Earth feel, and this punchy new trailer is a very promising first impression.

Ashley Bashy Thomas leads this story of a young man coming to terms with a violent past and a brutal relationship with his Father, in what looks to be a menacing turn by David Harewood (who is in fine form on HBO’s Homeland of late), with the help of boxing trainer Peter Mullan. The trailer we have today paints a bleak portrait of the young man in a desperate struggle to find his feet and take a different road to the one laid out before him.

From what we can see here the boxing scenes have a suitably vicious momentum and the surrounding drama looks to just as gripping. Having Harewood and Mullan...

Director: Dan Turner.

Writers: Jason Arnopp.

Cast: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters and Patrick Flynn.

Political agendas are at work in Stormhouse. In an underground bunker, the military has managed to cage a supernatural entity and although the reasons why are never fully revealed, the idea is that they want to tame the savage beast. The generals want to use this entity in its war on terror. This movie takes place many months before the invasion of Iraq.

Otherwise, why else would the armed forces want it? Just what is this covert group of military minds thinking? They recruit a ghost whisperer, Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn), to make a contact with this untamed force. But since she is a civilian, she is not going to be an obedient soldier. While this type of plotting is nothing new, the attempt at mind washing is intriguing, if not terrifying for those looking for secret messages.

Title: Stormhouse Directed by: Dan Turner Starring: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters, Martin Delaney, Grahame Fox Running time: 88 minutes, Rated R Hayley Sands, a girl who can communicate with the dead, is brought to a secret underground military base called Stormhouse where a supernatural entity is being held captive behind a reverse electromagnetic fence…but the fence won’t hold for long. Allegedly this film is based on true events, which makes sense because real life is boring, much like this film. Sure it’s got special effects, buckets of blood, trash talking possessed people and a haunted basketball…wait, Wtf? The dialogue was juvenile, the acting was next to terrible and the ending...

Hitting DVD in just a couple of weeks is a ghostly little flick called Stormhouse, and to get you geared up, we have a brand spanking new trailer for you! Dig it!

To be perfectly honest, I haven’t heard too many good things about director Dan Turner’s genre outing “Stormhouse”. This, of course, may explain why the film has popped up on my cinematic radar, as I seem to have a weakness for this sort of low-budget malarkey. The trailer doesn’t immediately make my colon quiver, so it can’t be that bad. Note: I do not endorse judging motion pictures based on the various sounds and vibrations created by your internal organs. Here’s what the flick is supposed to be about: In 2002, the United States military captured a mysterious entity at the secret underground base, Stormhouse.

During our wrap-up of this year's Screamfest coverage , I picked on Stormhouse a little bit. But I couldn't help it. Dull and unintentionally funny, the movie - directed by Dan Turner - deserved it. You'll now known why because Lionsgate Home Entertainment is bringing the supernatural thriller to DVD on February 7. Special features include a making-of featurette.

Title: Stormhouse Directed by: Dan Turner Starring: Katherine Flynn, Grant Masters and Patrick Flynn When you first sit down, waiting to check out a new horror film you hope that it’ll either scare the hell out of you, disgust you, make you feel uncomfortable or all of the above. You would hope “Stormhouse” would fall into one of those categories but it instead falls into the ‘unintentionally funny’ sector. “Stormhouse” centers on a secret underground military base where a group of soldiers have captured a dangerous paranormal entity. When they bring in the overly-bubbly American Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn) to communicate with the entity, everything goes haywire at the complex...

The supernatural feature Stormhouse is set for its U.S. premiere at the Screamfest La Film Festival on Saturday, October 22nd, and in honor of the occasion we spoke with the film's writer Jason Arnopp and director Dan Turner.

Penned by Arnopp and produced by he and Dean Fisher with directorial duties handled by Turner, Stormhouse stars Katie Flynn (daughter of Jane Seymour), Grahame Fox, Patrick Flynn and Grant Masters. The film's synopsis is as follows: Six months before the invasion of Iraq, the British military caught and imprisoned a supernatural entity at a secret base in the English countryside. This film documents the days that followed, culminating in a battle that transcends their worst nightmares.

Filmed last year, director Turner told us of the Stormhouse production, “The whole turnaround from script to screen was very, very fast. We had the idea in May 2010, and by August 2010 we were shooting.

This is a reprint of a review first published at BlogCritics.org. Sitting (un)comfortably as one of the biggest disappointments of the Eiff 2011, Dan Turner's Stormhouse takes a potentially interesting premise and (mostly) squanders it on cheap jump scares and unnecessary bouts of gore.A group of soldiers working on assignment in a top secret underground military base called "Stormhouse" call in a woman who can speak to the dead in order to help them deal with a supernatural entity they have managed to capture.That premise may sound silly on paper, but plenty of horror/thrillers have ridiculous sounding premises that turn out to be genuinely frightening experiences. Unfortunately Stormhouse is not one of those films, instead it is as silly as you might imagine it to be. Ironically this is because...

UK horror on a military base.

Writer-director Dan Turner offers up a modest little Brit chiller that won't set the box office alight but has plenty of atmosphere and imagination to commend it. In the tradition of celebrated Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale, Stormhouse combines politics, sci-fi and the supernatural in a fashion both familiar and fresh.

With a classically basic set-up that echoes some of the best work of George Romero and John Carpenter - one location, a dozen or so cast members, a mostly unseen force - the film generates a considerable amount of suspense, and...

Then there...

At some point in 2002, months before the invasion of Iraq, Hayley Sands (Katherine Flynn) was recruited by the British military for her ability to commune with the dead. Arriving at the Stormhouse (which is not, it turns out, also an anagram of Doctor Who) facility, Sands is introduced to the entity under observation by the military.

Making instant friends with fellow phantom enthusiast Justin Rourke (Patrick Flynn) and soon butting horns with hardened soldier Major Anthony Lester (Grant Masters), Sands dutifully manages to rouse the entity from it’s recent inactivity. With the creature soon on the loose, however, just what exactly is the mysterious game it wishes to play?

Filmed on location at an abandoned military base, and with the actors required to remain onset throughout filming for added authenticity, Stormhouse at least looks the part. The sets – particularly the holding bay itself and the titanic adjoining corridor – are utilized to breathtaking effect,...

Rating: 3 out of 10

A low budget British horror set almost entirely in an underground bunker, inside of which the army have captured a supernatural entity and are holding it in a kind of Emp Faraday cage. An American woman who claims to have psychic powers visits the bunker and tries to make contact with the creature, which has begun to penetrate the field and find ways to posses the soldiers and scientists, playing malevolent games and generally adding to the air of cabin fever.

The first words on my notes for this films simply say, "Oh dear." It's hard not to notice the low budget immediately, as well as the patchy acting and very simple, slightly wonky script, all of which sadly make Stormhouse a bit of a clunker. I can't really fault any...

The Stormhouse Teaser Trailer has premiered. Dan Turner‘s Stormhouse (2011) stars Katherine Flynn, Grahame Fox, Andrew Hall, Martin Delaney, and Frankie Fitzgerald. Stormhouse‘s plot synopsis: “In 2002, eight months before the invasion of Iraq, the Military captured and imprisoned a supernatural entity at Stormhouse, a secret underground base. This film documents the final four days of that experiment. ‘Ghost whisperer’ Hayley Sands is brought to Stormhouse by the Government to make contact with the captured entity. But her arrival triggers a series of events which lead to the entity’s escape, plunging the base into a horrific nightmare.”

This teaser trailer is good, especially towards the end. These film reminds me of Event Horizon and the video game Dead Space.
