Untitled Horror Movie drops its first official trailer -- bringing another bloody story to iHorror, but this time from the perspective of out-of-work actors.
Shot entirely on the cast's phones, Untitled Horror Movie centers on six actors who film a horror movie using only their phones. However, the cast inadvertently summons a malevolent spirit during the filming process, putting them all at risk. The film's cast set, lit and shot the movie while quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic without ever meeting in real life.
Untitled Horror Movie stars Katherine McNamara (Arrow) as Chrissy, Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy) as Alex, Claire Holt (The Vampire Diaries) as Kelly, Tim Granaderos (13 Reasons Why) as Kip, Darren Barnet (Never Have I Ever) as Max and Luke Baines (Shadowhunters) as Declan.
Baines co-wrote the screenplay for the film with director Nick Simo. Bains will also serve as a producer on the upcoming horror film.
Simon told Deadline, "I’ve always believed that film should be a collaborative art form, and I don’t think there’s a truer example than with this picture. The actors did everything from lighting themselves [...] to recording their own sound and doing their own hair and makeup. As crazy as that could have been, it was easily one of the most enjoyable experiences in my professional life. It was one of those once in a lifetime moments when everything aligns at the exact right time."
The official synopsis for the upcoming horror film reads,
With their hit TV show on the brink of cancellation, six actors decide to film their own horror movie, unintentionally summoning a spirit with an affinity for violence.
Untitled Horror Movie will have a live stream premiere event on June 12. Pre-sale tickets for the film premiere are available now on Untitledhorror.com. The film will arrive on iTunes and Amazon on June 15.
