27 Oct
Summary
- Two fake ghost hunters encounter a real entity, jeopardizing their scam.
- The film blends comedy with severe, genuine terror by the end.
- Anything But Ghosts is set for a May 7, 2027 theatrical release.
Filmmaker Curry Barker is set to deliver another genre-bending experience with his upcoming horror-comedy, Anything But Ghosts. Scheduled for a May 7, 2027 release, the movie explores the darker side of the supernatural after Barker's previous success with Obsession. The film centers on Eddy and Mouse, portrayed by Barker and Cooper Tomlinson, who operate as fraudulent ghost hunters. They deceive clients by staging paranormal phenomena using special effects.
Their lucrative scam takes a terrifying turn when they encounter an actual supernatural entity during a job. This unexpected reality forces the duo to confront genuine horrors, a stark contrast to their fabricated scares. Co-star Tomlinson described the film's progression as akin to "if Key and Peele walked into Hereditary," beginning as a buddy comedy and escalating into profound terror.
Anything But Ghosts also features a notable cast including Bryce Dallas Howard and Aaron Paul, though their specific roles are undisclosed. The project is a collaborative effort, with Barker co-writing the script alongside Tomlinson, promising a unique blend of humor and fright.
