The supernatural thriller, The Block, just wrapped filming. A first-look image as well as details on the film have been unveiled.

The film follows Mitch James (Falahee), who was once the golden boy of horror fiction, until an unshakable writer’s block brought his meteoric rise to a halt. Years later, with his career in ruins, Mitch stumbles into a dark and inexplicable event, after which, the words begin to flow again.

But inspiration proves fleeting and something shadowy and malevolent seems to be demanding more in return. As Mitch becomes entangled in a chilling cycle of creation and consequence, the true cost of his craft may be far greater than he ever imagined.

“I’ve been developing The Block for many years,” director Craig Singer said in a statement shared by Deadline. “The original idea – what an artist is compelled to go through to secure their art and legacy – has always intrigued me and feels even more urgent in 2026.”

He adds, “Today’s rapidly evolving, AI-driven creative landscape forces creators at every level to make artistic choices and face challenges on a scale we’ve never seen. The timing couldn’t be more relevant. The Block isn’t about jump scares; it’s a philosophic fable for our times.”

Jackie Earle Haley (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), Jack Falahee (How to Get Away with Murder), Chris Noth (Sex and the City) and Saphira Moran star in The Block.

Robert Dean Klein (6:45, Dark Ride) wrote the screenplay.
