Mad Men‘s Elisabeth Moss has signed on to play a scream queen in Bryan Bertino‘s horror film There Are Monsters.
Bertino’s script, billed by backers as an “emotionally gripping and visceral” horror film, follows a single mother and her terrified young daughter, who are trapped and tormented by a mysterious creature.
The film will be produced by American Hustle‘s Richard Suckle and Adrienne Biddle (Mockingbird).
