Dark Water director Hideo Nakata has signed up to helm teen psychological thriller Chatroom.

The story focuses on teenagers who encourage each other to indulge their destructive tendencies, reports Variety.

Nakata, the Japanese filmmaker behind Ringu and The Ring Two, will direct from a script by Hunger writer Enda Walsh.

"Nakata has come up with something very visual, very conceptual, and situated somewhere between Disturbia and Cube," said Eve Schoukroun of production firm WestEnd films.
