Cameras are rolling on the new Australian horror film Puzzle Box from writer and director, Jack Dignan (After She Died).

The film stars Kaitlyn Boyé (The Furies), Laneikka Denne (Mud Crab), Cassandre Girard (After She Died), Janelle McMenamin (Interceptor) and Matias Klaver (Risen).

Shot in the same handheld-POV style as The Blair Witch Project and recent international hit Skinamarink, The found-footage horror film follows the story of a struggling drug addict, Kait (Kaitlyn Boyé), and her younger sister, Olivia (Laneikka Denne).

Running from a recent violent incident from her past and not wanting to go back to rehab, Kait flees to a remote house in the woods to self-rehabilitate, where Olivia joins her to document the process.

The duo quickly find that the house isn’t what it seems and the internal layout is constantly changing, trapping them in an inescapable puzzle box. As they attempt to solve the mystery and find a way out, they discover there are far worse things in this house to be afraid of.

Puzzle Box is produced by Jack Dignan and Morgan Wright through Wright’s production company, Repeater Productions.

Dignan directed last year’s award-winning horror film, After She Died, which is out now on VOD, DVD/Blu-Ray and streaming on Tubi in select countries.

Wright recently produced Ben Golotta’s debut short film Lean and Conor Mercury’s The Fritz, both of which premiered at this year’s Academy Award-qualifying Flickerfest Short Film Festival in Bondi.

This is Wright’s and Repeater’s first feature film.

Production is expected to last until the end of the month in Sydney, with post-production continuing locally through to the latter half of the year.
