Appendage filmmaker Anna Zlokovic is set to direct horror film The Broodmare, whose script by Michael Voyer was featured on the 2018 Black List.
The Broodmare is being produced by XYZ and Tea Shop, who most recently collaborated on the 2026 release Night Patrol.
The plot follows “a recovering alcoholic who travels to a remote horse breeding farm to make amends with his high school sweetheart as part of his twelve-step program. As tensions escalate, he finds himself caught in the violent crosshairs of a grand scheme orchestrated by his cult-following hosts.”
“As soon as we readThe Broodmare, we knew we had to be a part of it – it’s a searing, character-driven horror film with a finale for the ages,“ XYZ and Tea Shop told Deadline. “Anna’s brilliant vision is the perfect vehicle for Michael’s writing, and we can’t wait to see it realized.”
Zlokovic said, “The Broodmare is the kind of script you don’t put down and then your jaw hits the floor by the end. I’ve never read anything like it. It’s exactly the type of movie I’ve been craving to watch: high tension, provocative storytelling that unravels into something totally unexpected.”
The Black List began in 2005 as an annual survey of Hollywood’s most-liked unproduced screenplays. The Broodmare was selected for the 2018 list, which also featured Cobweb and Promising Young Woman. That is to say that this project is instantly intriguing.
