More original horror-themed programming is on its way to MTV (which should just change its name already since the network hasn’t focused on music-related programming in years) in the form of a new horror flick called The Dorm, and we have your details right here.

Deadline reports that the studio, which is prepping a series reboot of the Scream movie franchise, has greenlit another female-centered horror project, this time on the longform side.

MTV has ordered The Dorm, a psychological horror movie starring Alexis Knapp (pictured; Pitch Perfect). It revolves around Vivian (Knapp), an awkward college freshman who struggles with major self-esteem issues but undergoes a transformation into a flawless, seductive beauty at the hands of her new dorm mates.

Cassie Steele (“Degrassi”) plays Sarah, a funny and unpredictable queen bee who turns Vivian into her pet project. Max Lloyd Jones (“Teen Wolf”) also co-stars. Nomadic Pictures Corp (“Hell On Wheels”) is producing, with filming slated to begin February 10 in Calgary. Rachel Talalay (Freddy’s Dead) is directing from a script by Sean Hood (Halloween: Resurrection).
