According to Variety, Gold Circle Entertainment (Pitch Perfect) is currently developing a big screen adaptation of We Happy Few, a first-person horror survival game produced by Compulsion Games.
As someone who loves horror stories in any medium, I’m really excited to see what Compulsion Games can do going forward.
The Compulsion Games website describes We Happy Few as being set in a “drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England,” where the government has been using experimental drugs to tinker with the population.
While the idea itself sounds like the perfect fodder for a movie, it’s also smart to target the horror genre specifically.
