NIGHT OF THE SLASHER Short Follows a Teenage Girl Commiting Horror Movie Sins to Lure a Killer

View fullsize

Today's short film is a horror thriller called "Night of the Slasher." The story follows a teenage girl who realizes "she must commit horror movie sins such as drink alcohol, do drugs, and have sex to lure a killer and finish him off."

The film was written and directed by Shant Hamassian, and it's a really fun concept that is both dark and humorous. I love that the killer is wearing a Leonard Nimoy Spock mask because, as most of you already know, Michael Meyers wore a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask in Halloween. 

There's also a great fight scene, and one of the things that makes this film so cool and enjoyable is the fact that it was all shot in a single take! Watch it for yourself and let us know what you think!

An OSCAR® qualified "shot-in-one-take" slasher film about a teenage girl who lures a masked killer by committing horror movie sins.
