The first bit of casting news for Sean Carter’s upcoming thriller Home Invasion has busted in, and it involves a Disney Channel ingenue who’s ready to dabble once again in the horror genre.

Per Deadline, “Shake It Up” star Bella Thorne has scored a lead role in Home Invasion, Carter’s debut feature about a family imprisoned by intruders who play a life-and-death game in which the mysterious rules become clear as the night unfolds. Thorne (who previously appeared in horror films Forget Me Not, Craw Lake, and The Seer) will play Jamie, a disillusioned teenager intensely guarding a personal secret.

Voltage Pictures is financing the project, written by first-time scribe and co-producer Joseph Dembner, and producing with Silver Pictures’ low-budget label Zinc Entertainment. Silver Pictures’ Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce with Voltage’s Nicolas Chartier and Craig Flores. Joel Silver, Steve Richards, and Michael Fiore will exec produce.
