Trailer for WHERE THE SCARY THINGS ARE, Described as STAND BY ME or THE GOONIES With a Dark Twist
Lionsgate has released a trailer for an upcoming urban legend-inspired horror film titled Where The scray Things Are. The film is described as “Stand by Me or The Goonies with a deliciously dark twist.” I’m not sure if that’s quite accurate as the only thing that this movie looks like it has in common with those films is that it revolves around teenagers. But, regardless, it does look like it could be a fun horror flick.
The story centers on a group of teenagers in high school who are assigned to create their own urban legend, and things get quickly get out of hand as they are trying to get more likes and go viral. This comes with deadly consequences.
Here’s the synopsis:
The horror begins as Ayla and her high school friends discover a hideous, semi-human mutant. They keep it prisoner while shooting repulsive viral videos, with the gang’s hunger for “likes” driving them to film the beast performing murderous acts. When one boy sees that Ayla is using the monster’s gruesome violence to settle her own vendettas, he threatens to tell the authorities—but is he too late to save his friends?
The movie stars Paul Cottman, Michael Cervantes, Peter F. Cote, Quinn Andrew Fickes, Selina Flanscha, Oliver Givens, Emma Lim, Asher Ruppert, and Riley Sullivan.
It will be released On Demand, Digital and DVD on June 28th from Lionsgate. I’ll be checking it out!
