Mouthwashing is getting the Hollywood treatment with a full-length feature film directed by the mind behind Jennifer’s Body.<\/p>\n

Critically-acclaimed indie horror game Mouthwashing<\/u><\/a>, developed by Wrong Organ and published by Critical Reflex, is coming to the silver screen. This official announcement follows more than two weeks of rumors about a movie adaptation that have swirled within the game\u2019s fanbase.<\/p>\n

Revealed today, October 29, by Wrong Organ and Sony Pictures\u2019 Screen Gems production company, the crew of the Tulpar will soon make their way to a theater near you. Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange<\/a>, The Black Phone<\/a>) is set to produce, alongside C. Robert Cargill and Vince Cheng for their Crooked Highway production house.<\/p>\n

Karyn Kusama (famous for Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/a> and Yellowjackets<\/a>) is set to direct, with Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay (The Invitation) writing the script. Thus far, exact plot details are unconfirmed \u2014 but if you\u2019re familiar with the game, you\u2019ll have a good idea of what you\u2019re in for.<\/p>\n

The game follows five crew members manning the Tulpar, a freight ship under the Pony Express shipping company. When the vessel goes off course, its staff must cope with their dire circumstances, battling starvation, isolation, paranoia, and hallucinations \u2014 and even defending themselves from their fellow crewmates.<\/p>\n

The game has been widely well-received, with IGN scoring the game a glowing 9 out of 10<\/a>. First released on PC in 2024, the game is now out on consoles as of today, October 29. Another Critical Reflex joint, No, I\u2019m Not a Human<\/a>, alongside celebrated indie game Arctic Eggs<\/a>, are also coming to Xbox, as revealed during the ID@XBOX showcase<\/a> earlier this month..<\/p>\n

Thus far, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess as to who\u2019ll get cast in the movie \u2014 but given that some of its characters were directly inspired by real-life actors (Shelley Duvall, for one), we\u2019re keen to see who gets picked to join the Tulpar on its doomed journey through space.<\/p>\n

This is the latest video game to get greenlit for a screen adaptation after news that PUBG is getting a live-action show on Netflix<\/a>, which is being written, directed, produced by, and even starring Donald Glover.<\/p>\n

It seems like more and more video games are being put on the silver screen; Michael B. Jordan is helming a Battlefield film adaptation<\/a>, and Capcom\u2019s Street Fighter flick<\/a> debuted in theaters earlier this month. This follows Zach Cregger\u2019s wildly successful Resident Evil movie<\/a>, which is the latest in a string of successful horror films that have rocked the box office<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n
