The analogue horror game Home Safety Hotline is being adapted into a film directed by Michael Matthews. The project involves studios Spooky Pictures, Image Nation, and Longevity Pictures, with a screenplay by Nick Tassoni. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story follows an unemployed loner discovering a company's role in protecting customers from nighttime monsters.
Home Safety Hotline, developed by Night Signal Entertainment and released in early 2024, places players in a 1990s call center using a Windows 95-style desktop. Operators handle calls about household problems that escalate from pests like cockroaches to supernatural threats, such as passageways to other dimensions. The game is available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, and includes a festive expansion called Seasonal Worker. Night Signal Entertainment is also collaborating with Grey Alien Games on Forbidden Solitaire, a card-slashing horror game set around a mysterious 1995 CD-ROM. The movie adaptation, described as a fun horror thriller blending influences from Severance and Stranger Things, centers on an unemployed loner who joins a mysterious home security firm. The protagonist soon learns the company specializes in shielding customers from horrific monsters that emerge at night. Michael Matthews, known for directing Love and Monsters, will helm the project based on Nick Tassoni's screenplay. The Hollywood Reporter first reported the partnership between Spooky Pictures, Image Nation, and Longevity Pictures.
