Raimi to redo two European horrors

Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures has acquired remake rights to two European horror films.

According to Variety, the Spider-Man director wants to launch English-language versions of Spanish film Anguish and Danish horror Room 205.

Anguish, written and directed by Bigas Luna, centres on two girls who find that their lives are beginning to follow the plot of the horror film they are watching. Jake Wade Wall has written the adaptation.

Room 205, meanwhile, revolves around a college freshman whose finds that her room is haunted. Original director Martin Barnewitz will oversee the remake, to be titled The Dorm, from a script by The Grudge's Stephen Susco.

Raimi, who rose to attention in Hollywood directing the Evil Dead series, will return to the horror genre with this May's Drag Me To Hell.
