Blurb:
“In the tradition of the 1980s horror films such as Halloween, and Friday the 13th, Hoodman imparts a smart contemporary and hip tone, bringing the 80’s classic style into today’s millennial-driven Blumhouse sensibility.
The film places an emphasis on suspense and hidden terror rather than blood and gore while tackling universal themes of the power of belief and the nature of depression, identity and suicide. At its heart, it is the story of a troubled young girl’s fight to overcome impossible odds and emerge the triumphant victor.
It also introduces a unique, exciting and franchise-ready villain antagonist into the lexicon of horror antagonists from which only the most resilient ‘final girl’ will escape. (Or will she?).”
