"Move over, jump scares - nightmare-fueling mood-piece horror about the terror of growing up is so hot right now. I Saw the TV Glow creator Jane Schoenbrun will mutate the gross surrealism of Charles Burns's comic series Black Hole into a Netflix show. They are both writing and directing the adaptation. "Babe wake up new lifelong dream project just dropped," Schoenbrun tweeted when the news went public on October 23."
"The graphic novel, set in a town where teenagers who have sex too young pass on an STI that turns them into mutants, is an eerily good match for Schoenbrun, whose high-school horror movie I Saw the TV Glow was one of the most acclaimed films of 2024. Black Hole stalks Chris, a popular girl who contracts the virus, and a stoner named Keith, who is in love with her."
"The 12-issue series, which has since been collated into one book, originally came out between 1995 and 2005. Previously, adaptations of the source material were announced from David Fincher, French director Alexandre Aja, and Dope filmmaker Rick Famuyiwa. Hopefully, this is the final girl that will actually make it to the finish line. Get ready to fall into a black hole."
