Filmmaker Andy Chen, known for his body horror short The Spider, is set to make his feature film debut with the psychological horror movie Another. Production is scheduled to begin next week in Los Angeles.

Bob Morley (The 100) and India de Beaufort (Kimi, Slumberland) will lead the cast, which also features Anna Akana (A Million Little Things), Doug Jones (The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth), and Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street).

Another follows Joey (de Beaufort), a grieving author reeling from the death of her husband, Ben (Morley), a brilliant physicist. When Ben inexplicably reappears one morning, alive and well, Joey is thrust into a waking nightmare where grief, memory, and reality begin to unravel.

Chen co-wrote the screenplay with Alexander Hernandez-Maxwell. The film is produced by Chen’s longtime collaborators Artin John (Death Note, The X-Files) and Kealani Kitaura.

“Another is more than a horror film—it’s a meditation on grief, love, and fractured reality,” said Chen. “I’m drawing inspiration from storytellers like M. Night Shyamalan, Christopher Nolan, and Denis Villeneuve to create something atmospheric and uniquely immersive.”

Producer/actor Artin John added, “Andy’s vision is striking, emotionally intelligent, and always unexpected. He’s not just scaring audiences—he’s telling a story that sticks with you.”

Filming will take place across various Los Angeles locations, including Cinepacks Studios in Burbank, which houses Chen’s own production facility.

Before tackling feature films, Chen’s 2023 short Close Your Eyes won Best Short at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. His transition into feature filmmaking with Another feels like a natural progression in his career.
