Writer-director Cassie Keet makes her feature debut with the horror-comedy Scream Therapy, about a cathartic girl’s trip to the desert that turns deadly when they run into some demon-worshipping incels on the hunt for a human sacrifice.
“After Avery (Harley Bronwyn) breaks up with her boyfriend of seven years when he expresses no plans for marriage in the future, her best friends Nora (Claire Dellamar), Dylan (Mandie Cheung), Marybeth (Geri Courtney-Austein), and Gillian (Rochelle Anderson) whisk her away to the Wonder Valley desert for a weekend of drinking, drugs, and restorative scream therapy. Their vacation takes a sharp turn when they cross paths with Jeremiah (Brian Flaccus) and Zachariah (Skyler Bible), demon-worshiping incels who are on a very pressing human sacrifice deadline. When the ritual goes horribly wrong, the ladies are left with two choices: find sacrifices of their own or have their souls ripped out when the sun rises. With only hours to complete an impossible task, the best friends will have to defeat desert psychos, conspiracy theorist lunatics, and the incel cult leader “The Sovereign” (David St. James) to survive.
Scream Therapy will make its world premiere at the Dances With Films on June 23rd, 2023. Ahead of its premiere, we’ve got the new trailer. Check it out.
