The cast leans into genre favorites: Adeline Rudolph (Sabrina, Mortal Kombat 2) leads as Diane. Nicholas Hamilton (IT) plays Tod. Francesca Reale (Stranger Things) shows up as Cora, with Jake Manley (The Order), Laurence O'Fuarain (Game of Thrones), and Kai Caster (Yellowstone) rounding out the crew. Javier Botet - whose twisted limbs have scared audiences in The Conjuring and Alien: Covenant - shows up as something called the Pale Creature. So, yes, it's going to get weird.
From viral hits to a haunted hotel
For Klasfeld, this film has been a long time coming. 'I have waited decades to find the right feature film project to which I could truly dedicate myself,' he said. 'The passion I have found to make Do Not Enter all it can be is extraordinary, and I honestly can't wait for the world to see what we have in store,' he added.
This is the guy behind the See You Again music video, which has racked up over 5.5 billion views. But even with that kind of viral legacy, Klasfeld admits this film took everything.
