Jacob Tremblay (Room) and Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) will star in psychological horror The Night House. They will play different aged versions of the protagonist, Richard.

In the wake of his parents’ recent death, high schooler Richard has been sent to live with relatives in the remote town of Ballantyne. One day, during an innocent prank call in a phone booth, Richard shockingly witnesses his classmate violently get sucked into the phone receiver and disappear without a trace.

Police suspect Richard to be responsible, and no one believes his story except Karen, a fellow teenage outsider. As Richard and Karen try to understand their friend’s unspeakable death, they soon realize they have unleashed terrifying evil forces. As reality starts to blur, can Richard even trust himself?

Jo Nesbø co-wrote the screenplay with Jesper Ganslandt (“Snabba Cash”), who will direct. Schneider is producing with Hope Studios’ Fredrik Wikström Nicastro (A Man Called Otto).
