## Summary

The horror game Mouthwashing is being adapted into a film, with Scott Derrickson producing and Karyn Kusama directing. The project adds to a growing run of horror video games moving to the screen, building on the recent Resident Evil film and adaptations such as Exit 8 and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Developed by Wrong Organ, Mouthwashing follows the crew of the cargo ship Tulpar after it crashes in space, as paranoia grows and the truth about their predicament emerges. Its non-linear story and distinctive visuals helped it gain recognition as a modern horror game, including the 2024 Horror Game Awards’ Best Narrative award; the game launched on consoles earlier this week after first finding success on PC.
