Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Star in Horror-Thriller DIBBUK BOX

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is set to star in the horror-thriller Dibbuk Box for Lionsgate and Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures.  Lionsgate has already set the film’s release for October 28th, a Halloween weekend now absent their Saw franchise.  Danish director Ole Bornedal (The Substitute) will direct a script by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White based on true events.  According to Variety,

“Morgan will star as a recently divorced father whose youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. As his daughter’s behavior becomes more erratic, the father senses a dark presence building until he discovers that the box was built to contain a dibbuk — a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host.”

While many folks probably don’t know what a Dibbuk is (unless they saw A Serious Man), I suppose Dibbuk Box is a better title than Yard Sale Ghost.
