The viral “Momo Challenge,” proven to be a hoax, used the creepy art piece you see above to weave a tale about an internet challenge involving self-harm and even suicide, and naturally, the whole thing is now being used as the basis for an upcoming horror film.
Stef Beaton, Alex Brown, Georgie Storm Waite, Rianne Senining, and Charlotte Spencer have been set to star in Getaway, directed by Lilton Stewart III.
“Follows a group of unsuspecting teenagers who, in their last summer before college, find themselves in a secluded cabin in the woods where unusual occurrences unfold. In ghost story fashion, one tells the story of the urban legend, MOMO, a strange spirit of a bird-like woman that taunts its victims with specific personal details and violent commands via text message and phone calls. What starts out as a harmless prank soon turns more sinister over the next 24 hours as the teens start disappearing without any motive or pattern.”
