Companion director signs on to next horror film My Wife and I Bought a Ranch

As a seasoned horror aficionado with a knack for unearthing chilling tales that send shivers down my spine, I can’t help but feel a palpable sense of anticipation at the announcement of “My Wife and I Bought a Ranch.” Having delved into the darkest recesses of the horror genre through countless nights spent hunched over a flickering screen, I have developed an uncanny ability to spot potential gems. The fact that this movie is based on a horror short story that first appeared on Reddit, a platform notorious for its creepy corners, only adds to my intrigue.


Hey Horror Enthusiasts! Exciting news from Amazon MGM Studios – they are developing a new horror film titled “My Wife and I Bought a Ranch“. Here’s what we know so far about this intriguing upcoming movie.

In an unexpected twist, the personal tale of “Us Acquiring a Ranch” has been transformed into a chilling supernatural horror film. This movie is inspired by Matt Query’s original horror short story, which gained popularity on Reddit. The story was later expanded into a novel, penned jointly by Matt and his brother Harrison, titled “Old Country“. If you’re intrigued and wish to own this book, it can be bought as either a paperback or eBook through Amazon.

Film director Drew Hancock, famous for producing the upcoming psychological thriller “Companion“, has agreed to write and direct the movie adaptation of “My Wife and I Bought a Ranch“. Hancock gained popularity by writing for various TV shows like “Blue Mountain State“, “Suburgatory“, “Faking It“, “Mr. Pickles” and co-creating the comedy series “My Dead Ex“.

This upcoming horror movie has the support of three prominent production studios: 21 Laps, Atomic Monster, and Ground Control. Known for their involvement in numerous horror productions, these companies are a testament to the movie being handled by experienced professionals, giving assurance of its quality.

The narrative revolves around a youthful pair opting for a fresh start in secluded Idaho, settling into their recently acquired ideal abode. However, they swiftly uncover that a malevolent force haunts the landscape near their residence.

Here’s the book’s synopsis via Amazon:

It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.

That is, until their nearest neighbors, Dan and Lucy Steiner, come bearing more than housewarming gifts. Dan and Lucy warn Harry and Sasha of a malevolent spirit that lives in the valley, one that with every season will haunt them in fresh, ever-more-diabolical ways. At first, it seems like an old wives’ tale. But when spring arrives, so does the first evil manifestation, challenging everything Harry and Sasha thought they knew about the world.

The movie was first planned by Netflix in 2020, but they ultimately decided not to proceed with it. So far, no actors have been assigned for this film. However, since it now has a writer/director, we anticipate casting announcements soon.
