Isabelle Fuhrman and Michael Rooker’s Supernatural Horror Unveils Bone-Chilling Plot Details
Isabelle Fuhrman and Michael Rooker are teaming for a new possession chiller, and early intel points to unholy twists and nerve-shredding terror ahead, with Deadline reporting the duo will lead the supernatural shocker.
Isabelle Fuhrman is pulling double duty in a new possession thriller called Izzi, with Michael Rooker riding shotgun as the town sheriff. The setup sounds nasty in the best way: twin sisters, a family curse, and a forest you absolutely do not want to wander into after dark.
The hook
Fuhrman plays both Jenny and her twin, Izzi. Jenny heads back to her hometown and learns Izzi has been taken over by something mean and has vanished into the nearby woods. As an old, inherited curse wakes up, Jenny teams with her dad, John, and Sheriff Blackstone (Rooker) to push into the forest and drag her sister back before whatever is out there finishes the job.
Who is making it
Jamie and Jason Neese are directing. Yes, twin brothers making a movie about twin sisters. That bit of symmetry is too good. The Neeses previously worked as co-executive producers on Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, so they know their way around stylish, high-concept weirdness.
Why this could hit
Fuhrman has a real knack for unsettling material (hello, Orphan), and giving her a dual role lets her chew on two versions of terror at once. Rooker as a no-nonsense small-town sheriff dropped into supernatural chaos is exactly the kind of grounded presence that keeps a story like this from floating away. Also: cursed woods stories live and die on atmosphere, and this one sounds like it wants to go full fever dream.
