Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are making horror a family business.
The Hollywood couple — who have been married since 1988 — are set to direct and star in a horror movie called Family Movie, which will also feature their actual children, Sosie and Travis Bacon, per Variety. The horror-comedy film is based on a screenplay by Dan Beers, who wrote the R-rated short film Premature.
Family Movie follows a tight-knit family of filmmakers who find themselves in a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their latest low-budget slasher, per the film’s description. As their movie production spirals out of control, the family realizes they must try to cover up the murder, by any means necessary.
