A new feature film adaptation of “Jeff the Killer” is in development, according to multiple outlets. The project is being produced with involvement from online creator Savanah Moss.
The announcement comes as Hollywood leans into internet-spawned horror and seeks to replicate the success of recent viral hits, particularly “Backrooms.” Polygon and Kotaku both frame the “Jeff the Killer” adaptation in the context of that broader industry trend. While details on release timing and full creative credits are limited in the reported coverage, both sources identify Moss as a key figure in moving the film forward.
The outlets also cite Tengal as part of the production team, but they differ slightly in emphasis, with one focusing more on the “Backrooms” connection and the other foregrounding Moss’s role in helping produce the upcoming feature. Across coverage, the consistent points are that the film adaptation is planned, Moss is involved, and the effort aligns with the wider push for horror stories that originate from online communities.
