Focus Features, Blumhouse add Chris Reinacher to Anything But Ghosts
Curry Barker’s *Anything But Ghosts* marks his shift from horror hits like *Smile* into a new supernatural thriller, co-produced by Focus Features and Blumhouse’s Atomic Monster, with Chris Reinacher joining the cast. This collaboration signals a bigger push into mid-budget genre films, boosting Barker’s and Reinacher’s careers while reinforcing horror’s box-office strength.
Film producer Curry Barker has lined up his next project, *Anything But Ghosts*, a supernatural thriller to be co-produced by Focus Features and Blumhouse’s Atomic Monster. Chris Reinacher, known for his work on *Knock at the Cabin* and *The Autopsy of Jane Doe*, has joined the cast.
The film marks a shift for Barker, who previously worked on horror hits like *Smile* and *Totally Killer*. Focus Features and Blumhouse’s Atomic Monster are teaming up to bring the project to life, signaling a bigger push into mid-budget genre films. Reinacher’s addition adds star power, with his experience in high-tension horror making him a strong fit for the genre.
*Anything But Ghosts* hasn’t been fully described yet, but Barker’s track record suggests it’ll lean into suspense and supernatural scares. The collaboration between Focus Features and Blumhouse’s Atomic Monster could help the film reach a wider audience, especially if it leans into the kind of mainstream horror that’s been performing well at the box office.
Why this matters: Barker’s move into this space signals confidence in horror’s continued appeal, even as the genre evolves beyond jump scares. The involvement of two major studios also means bigger budgets and wider distribution, which could help Reinacher’s career gain even more traction. If the film delivers, it could reinforce Barker’s reputation as a go-to producer for high-quality horror.
