Wes Craven Co-Produced THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS Locks Theatrical Release

Meta-slasher flick THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS coming to theaters in April.

SHOCK learned today that Vertical Entertainment has locked a firm theatrical and VOD release date for the co-writer/director Nick Simon’s Wes Craven co-produced slasher satire thingie THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS.

The film, which stars Kal Penn, Claudia Lee, Kenny Wormald, Katherine Isabelle and Mitch Pileggi will open on April 1st.

True story: we saw the film at its 2015 Toronto International Film Festival Premiere. We did not like it.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Colleen’s life isn’t going anywhere. The small town check out girl with natural beauty is bored with her dead end job and annoyed by her apathetic boyfriend. This isn’t the life she wanted. In the midst of her turmoil, a pair of deranged serial killers begin leaving her photos of their mutilated victims. 

 

Her chance to escape comes in the form of Peter Hemmings, a hipster celebrity photographer who has traveled back to his hometown of Spearfish, South Dakota, with a pack of models, intent on copying the killers’ intense and unapologetic artistry. When he learns Colleen is the killers’ muse, Peter resolves to make her his own and use her as the centerpiece of a photo campaign in Los Angeles. 

 

But before Colleen can leave her old life behind, she must contend with the desires of her murderous stalkers who have chosen her last night in town to execute their most provocative work to date.
