Wes Craven preps 25/8!

way back in September 2006?Bloody Disgusting have learnt that Craven is ready to film 25/8, a horror movie that he has wrote and will direct out in Connecticut. Here's the plot...

As legend has it, a notorious serial slayer will return to the sleepy community of Riverdale to finish off the seven children born on the night he purportedly died. But is the slayer really dead, or is he still at large? Or has the mysterious evil personality that once impelled his bloody spree entered the body of an unwary teen, who will now be compelled to do his evil bidding?
Sounds pretty cool. Craven's been completely off the mark since his SCREAM series ended with the back-to-back yarn fests that were CURSED and RED EYE but remember, this will mark the first project he will direct from his OWN screenplay. Something he hasn't done since NEW NIGHTMARE, the last stand-alone Freddy Krueger movie. And that movie frikkin' ruled. I would love to see Craven return to his serious best. In fact I would argue we NEED to see him at his best, for the sake of the genre!
