Netflix Acquires ‘The Hills Have Eyes For You’ With Eli Craig As Director

Netflix has acquired the script of The Hills Have Eyes For You written by David Stieve. The horror romantic-comedy film will be directed by “Tucker & Dale vs Evil” director Eli Craig and Farah Films will be producing.

Dan Farah will produce, and Andrew Farah will Exec Produce. Stephanie Davis will serve as a co-producer.

“This is a unique underdog love story with genre bending scares and a lot of laughs,” Craig said. “I think I’ll be in my element for this one.”

Dan Farah called it “a fresh and fun love story set against the backdrop of an elevated horror comedy.”

David Stieve previously co-wrote the 2007 indie horror comedy, Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.

Eli Craig’s Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil became a cult success and he directed the dark comedy Little Evil for Netflix. He is currently developing for Blumhouse and Red Hour Corporate Retreat. He’s got another one, an homage to his own wedding that is the basis for a disaster comedy called Bride And Doom.
