Currently shooting in Savannah, Georgia, the film teams McCallany with Zak Steiner (Euphoria) and Lily Donoghue (Black Christmas 2019), pulling them into a sun-bleached nightmare where paradise rots from the inside out.

Directed by James Khanlarian, who co-wrote the script with Peter A. Couture, Paradise: Disturbed adapts James Robert Fuller’s 2018 novel and drags viewers into a world where murder isn’t just planned—it’s ritualized.

The story follows retired OSI investigator Ron Lee (McCallany), who’s thrust back into the hunt when a string of ritualistic killings starts picking off members of a tight-knit golf group. As the bodies pile up, Lee squares off with a brilliant, taunting predator—while his partner Tim Pond (Steiner) scrambles to stop him from mentally unraveling under the pressure.

The film packs a stacked ensemble including Pat Healy (The Innkeepers), D.W. Moffett (Friday Night Lights), Xander Berkeley (Candyman), Cat Kaylin, Mary Pumper, Nadia Gray, and Sara Yigin.

Behind the scenes, Khanlarian and Couture produce alongside April Aguilera and Lawrence Mortorff, whose horror pedigree includes Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.
