Bad Bloom is said to be a horror fairytale film. The story revolves around a family that is living in isolation on a remote island to escape from an unknown creature.
“Their tightly-guarded reality begins to unravel when one of the children learns the monster they feared is not the monster they envisioned,” writes The Hollywood Reporter.
The film is being co-produced by Jon Rubinstein and Galt Niederhoffer for the Authentic Management banner, while Renn Hawkey will produce it under the banner of Ruminant Films.
Farmiga and McGuire previously collaborated on the project Tabloid Dreams, a surrealist comedy series, that was being developed by Bron Studios.
