One of the films heading your way this spooky season is the horror film Malibu Horror Story, whose new trailer has just been released, teasing a fright-filled flick.
Ten years in the making, the film from writer-director-producer Scott Slone is a love letter to found-footage films like Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield. It entered into development in the late 2000s and was filmed over the course of over ten years and marries multiple genres, including crime, mystery, and horror.
The film’s impressive cast includes Dylan Sprayberry (Teen Wolf, Light as a Feather, Sick), Robert Bailey Jr. (Nightshift, Emergence), Valentina de Angelis (Gossip Girl), Rebecca Forsythe (Replace, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit). The film features contortionist and creature actor “Twisty” Troy James (Nightmare Alley, Hellboy, Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark), who rose to fame after season 13 of “America’s Got Talent” and actor/stunt performer Douglas Tait (Annabelle Comes Home, Hellboy and Halloween Kills). The film also stars Tommy Cramer, Veno Miller, Jacob Hughes, and Hector Gomez Jr.
The story unfolds in Malibu, California, and follows the mysterious disappearance of four popular high school boys on graduation night. We follow a team of paranormal investigators as they search a sacred cave in the hills of Malibu for clues to the boys’ disappearance, only to uncover a terrifying truth.
Malibu Horror Story screened at an impressive 67 film festivals, such as Panic Fest and Grimmfest, and took home over 65 awards. This twisted tale is set to open in theaters on October 20, 2023. You can get your tickets here.
