According to an official announcement, McDougall stated that the movie aims to deliver more than just thrills; it seeks to offer viewers an emotionally resonant narrative they can relate to.

We always wanted to explore horror through a personal lens — not just the scares, but the human cost of wishes

McDougall stated, \’This tale has been haunting us for quite some time, and it\’s high time we set it free.\’

The finest horror movies linger with you well past the end credits.

That\’s precisely what this story accomplishes.

It\’s poignant, emotionally charged, and brimming with fear in all the perfect aspects.

We\’re not simply producing another horror movie —

We\’re developing an entire world based on a genuinely legendary idea.

The paw, the mythology, and the characters — everything is present here.\”

The risks have never been more devilishly cunning and engaging.

Although production is scheduled to start next month, an official timeline for the movie\’s release has not been established yet.
