Dominique Swain will star in Slaughter, the first film to be made from a Slamdance Film Festival Horror Screenplay Competition winner, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Maverick Films genre arm Maverick Red and Angel Baby Entertainment will finance and co-produce Nathan Brookes and Bobby Lee Darby’s winning script, with Victor Garcia attached to direct.
Swain will play a young actress who travels to a remote desert location to shoot a film called Slaughter, only to discover she and her co-stars have been cast in a snuff film and must fight to survive.
Principal photography will begin this month in Los Angeles.
