The Walten Files

The Walten Files is a 2029 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Leigh Janiak, produced by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Michael Doughtry, and is based on Martin Ward's online series, which he also served as an executive producer. The film has a cast of Brad Pitt, Jane Levy, Charles Dance, Elisabeth Moss, Kit Harrington, and Pablo Schreiber.

After seeing The Walten Files, Raimi decided to remake it into a feature length film. Doughtry became a producer and writer, and Janiak, became the director. Principal photography mostly took place in Bend, Oregon, especially in a forest close to the town.

The Walten Files grossed $2.4 million in the US and between $2.7 and $29.4 million worldwide. Both early and later critical reception were universally positive; in the years since its release, the film has developed a reputation as one of the most significant cult films, cited among the greatest horror films of all time and one of the most successful independent films.
