Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are partnering up again, this time for a serial killer movie.

The English actors and comedians are set to produce a horror film titled Svalta, production company Orion Pictures announced on Thursday.

Svalta, according to Deadline, tells the story of a family confronted to a serial killer on the loose while on vacation on a remote Swedish island.

Pegg and Frost will both act as producers and Frost is slated to write the screenplay.

Both men previously co-wrote the 2011 science fiction comedy Paul, in which they also starred.

Frost and Pegg have also appeared together in the films Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, which were also co-written by Pegg.

“We are unbelievably excited to be partnering with Simon, Nick and Miles on Svalta,” John Hegeman, the president of Orion Pictures, said in a statement to Deadline.

“The story is scary, awesome and crazy, and their unique voice is perfect for this movie.

“We can’t wait to bring this to the big screen with them.”
