Sony Pictures reportedly acquires film rights to horror game Mouthwashing

Sony Pictures has acquired the feature-film rights to the psychological horror game Mouthwashing, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter. Wrong Organ developed the game, and Critical Reflex published it.

Karyn Kusama is attached to direct, while Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay have been tapped to write the script, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The three previously worked together on The Invitation and Destroyer. Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill and Vince Cheng are producing through Crooked Highway, which has a producing deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment for Screen Gems features. Derrickson is producing, not directing.

The game follows five crew members stranded aboard the space freighter Tulpar, where dwindling supplies, isolation and mounting paranoia strain the group, . That is the game's premise, not a confirmed synopsis for the adaptation: Deadline says the film's storyline is under wraps.
