Skill House is an upcoming horror film written and directed by Josh Stolberg, who worked on the eighth and ninth instalments of the SAW franchise.
47-year-old rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is starring in and producing the feature.
The film’s synopsis suggests it is a dark satire of social media and influencer culture. According to IMDb, it is an “unflinching take on fame and what new celebrities are willing to do to attain it.”
Speaking to The Wrap, Josh dubbed the film “a new generation of horror.”
Filming only began in early July, but on Saturday 16, one scene got so intense that one of the Skill House cameramen collapsed and production came to a halt.
The director shared the incident on Twitter the following day.
He said: “Yikes!!! We shot a kill scene last night and the camera operator became so nauseated that he passed out and the camera crashed to the ground. Had to stop down for a 1/2 hour. He’s okay now but… get ready for some crazy sh**!”
Thankfully, the camera operator was absolutely fine after the incident and filming was also able to resume.
However, the cast and crew have explained that this highlights just how “crazy” the horror film is.
Adding to Josh’s earlier Tweet, 50 Cent said: “Crazy night one of our cameramen passed out cold for 30min from the scene. Couldn’t take how real it was. We’re elevating horror to the next level. This is gonna change the rules of the game. #skillhouse.”
50 Cent also shared an update about the incident on Instagram explaining that Josh, and special effects artist Steve Johnson, are responsible for making the film so bloody and scary.
Josh responded to his post on Twitter, writing, “Yes!!!!! @50cent gave me a shout out. Week made!!!!!”
A few days later, Josh showed off the cast and crew hard at work and teased how gory the next kill scene was getting with a picture of the slate covered in fake blood (pictured above).
Alongside it he wrote: “Even the slate can’t avoid the blood spray.”
His teaser snap impressed viewers who can’t wait to see the gruesome film.
“Yes!!! Love a gore fest, I can’t wait for it now.”
