Trailer For a New Slasher Movie Set in South Central LA Called THRILLER

Blumhouse has released the first trailer for their upcoming new horror/slasher film called Thriller. The movie takes a very familiar plot that we’ve seen a hundred times before in horror movies, but this time is set in South Central LA, or more specifically… Compton.

Thriller follows the story of an introverted young man named Chauncey Page who is sent to juvenile hall after he accidentally kills a young woman who is part of a group of tormentors that play a cruel prank on him. Years later he is released and is back for revenge — and blood — as Chauncey (Jason Woods) serves up some murderous karma as the group, now in high school, gets ready for Homecoming. Dressed in a hoodie and a menacing glare, he terrorizes them picks them off one by one.

If you’re a fan of slasher movies then this might be a film that you’ll enjoy. Thriller was written and directed by Dallas Jackson and also stars Mykelti Williamson, RZA, Jessica Allain, Luke Tennie, Tequan Richmond, Paige Hurd, Chelsea Rendon, Mitchell Edwards, Pepi Sonuga, Maestro Harrell and Michael Ocampo.

The movie is set to premiere at the LA Film Festival this coming weekend. There’s no release date yet, but you can check out the trailer below.

Following up last year's Happy Death Day, Blumhouse puts another fresh spin on the slasher sub-genre with writer/director Dallas Jackson's Thriller, with takes a familiar premise and places it into a new location. This particular slasher is set in Compton, where a prank-gone-horribly-wrong creates a slasher maniac and the bodies begin to pile up.
