Exclusive Trailer Premiere: Quarantine with Terror in Pandemic Horror KILLER
Imagine if the iconic horror slasher Scream was produced during a pandemic in one location with a diverse cast. You’re now getting a glimpse of the indie feature film Killer written, directed, and produced by African-American creative, A. D. Smith.
Today, Dread Central is thrilled to exclusively debut the trailer for Killer! Give it a spin and read more about the movie below.
Synopsis:
In March of 2020, a two-week shutdown is ordered across the country after a virus strikes the nation. Ten college friends decide to quarantine together under the same roof. To pass the time, they play a parlor game that makes one of them a killer and the others, the community. But what happens when the game becomes real? The two couples, Brandon/Cindy and Will/Kelly just want to spend the next two weeks together hanging out in the first mass quarantine of the century. But their friend Sam is all too eager to party and has made other plans, inviting five more of their crew. What they thought would be a two-week vacation turns into a two-month prison term as the quarantine is extended and they are forced to stay in the house after one of them contracts the virus. Friends turn into foes, secrets are revealed, and a mysterious masked slasher turns their pastime into his/her own murderous entertainment. Will anyone survive this game of Killer?
Combining timely and relevant themes with the tried and true slasher sub-genre, Killer looks to wow fans in the indie horror world as well as mainstream audiences. The killer (appropriately called Facemask) dons a costume that is sure to make its mark in pop culture.
With production now complete, the Killer team is seeking to raise funds for its PostProduction which includes, editing, sound mixing, special effects, and color grading. The crowdfunding campaign is now live at Indiegogo.com and will run from October 5th through November 2nd. But don’t fret. You won’t have to wait long to watch the movie. Although still negotiating with distributors, Killer is planning for an early-spring 2021 release. You can also follow the film on Facebook, HERE.
