Fresh off the SXSW buzz for his existential nightmare It Ends (still awaiting release), director Alex Ullom is already diving into his next descent into chaos: 4 X 4: The Event.

According to Deadline, Spooky Pictures and Image Nation have boarded the project, which is being described as a vicious collision of Battle Royale, Saw, and Climax—a blend that promises carnage, psychological collapse, and dance-floor delirium all in one.

Plot details remain locked down for now, but the team behind it is stacked with genre heavy-hitters:

Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious, Pet Sematary)
Roy Lee (Weapons, IT, The Ring)
Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath of Divide/Conquer (Black Phone 2, M3GAN)
Executive produced by Image Nation CEO Ben Ross

With pedigree like that, expect 4 X 4: The Event to swing hard into survival horror territory.

Stay tuned for updates as more blood-soaked details emerge. And keep an eye on Ullom’s It Ends, still waiting in the shadows without a release date—but coming soon.

Francesco Monti

Born in December, the darkest and coldest month of the year, Francesco Monti developed a passion for all things horror from an early age. A lifelong horror aficionado, his love for films, books, and the darker side of storytelling eventually led him into filmmaking, with a focus on horror, thriller, and sci-fi. In May 2022, Francesco turned that lifelong passion into GoreCulture — a platform created not only to bring horror fans closer to the films, stories, and culture they love, but to give a voice and valuable exposure to talented filmmakers, creators, and artists whose work deserves to be discovered, regardless of how established they are.
