Trailer for the High School-Set Horror Comedy DEPARTING SENIORS
Dark Sky Films has released a trailer for a high school-set horror comedy titled Departing Seniors. The movie centers on a bullied high school senior who develops psychic abilities which he must use to stop a mysterious killer targeting his classmates.
The movie is said to put “a fresh spin on teen slasher movies like Scream and Freaky” and that it comes with “a sarcastic, whip-smart edge and appealingly complex characters.”
In the film, “Mexican-American and queer, high school student Javier doesn’t exactly fit in with the popular kids. But he might be the only one who can save them. After an act of bullying sends Javier to the hospital, he begins experiencing visions that foresee glimpses of shocking murders at his school right before they happen. Now, in between navigating the social hierarchies and prejudices of clique culture, Javier and his best friend Bianca must try to unmask a serial killer before he strikes again.”
The movie was directed by Clare Cooney from a script written by Jose Nateras. The cast includes Ignacio Diaz-Silvero, Ireon Roach, Yani Gellman, Maisie Merlock, Cameron Roberts, and Sasha Kuznetsov.
The film is in select theaters and on VOD/PVOD on February 2.
