Earlier this year, and maybe even before that, the Momo Challenge surfaced online.
Momo is a scary woman figure with a wide smile and bulging eyes, who appeared halfway through kids’ content on Youtube.

This to make sure parents would not get to know.

The woman tells kids to message her for the instructions of the game and challenges them to do a variety of tasks, eventually even self-harm of suicide.

In the end, no suicides could be linked to the challenge and it was called a hoax.

However, the Momo Challenge is getting its own horror movie now!

It will be called "Getaway" and is directed by Lilton Stewart III.

The cast so far exists of Stef Beaton, Alex Brown, Georgie Storm Waite, Rianne Senining and Charlotte Spencer.

You can read the synopsis via Deadline below.

“Follows a group of unsuspecting teenagers who, in their last summer before college, find themselves in a secluded cabin in the woods where unusual occurrences unfold. In ghost story fashion, one tells the story of the urban legend, MOMO, a strange spirit of a bird-like woman that taunts its victims with specific personal details and violent commands via text message and phone calls. What starts out as a harmless prank soon turns more sinister over the next 24 hours as the teens start disappearing without any motive or pattern.”

What do you think of the whole challenge and the fact that it is now being turned into a horror movie?
