Last week we were hit with the surprise release of Blumhouse's MERCY BLACK over on Netflix. And today it looks like another Blumhouse production will be premiering on the streaming giant soon. Yes, today we have word that the slasher film THRILLER will drop on Netflix this weekend. Cut from the same cloth as classic slasher films like HALLOWEEN and PROM NIGHT, THRILLER subverts the genre which usually takes place in white suburbia and sets the slashing and gashing in modern-day Compton, CA, where teenagers experience an unforgiving cityscape of racism and violence.
Told through the black horror lens THRILLER follows
The story of an introverted young man named Chauncey Page who is sent to juvenile hall after he accidentally kills a young woman who is part of a group of tormentors that play a cruel prank on him. Years later he is released and is back for revenge — and blood — as Chauncey (Jason Woods) serves up some murderous karma as the group, now in high school, gets ready for Homecoming. Dressed in a hoodie and a menacing glare, he terrorizes them and picks them off one by one.
Written and directed by Dallas Jackson THRILLER is executive produced by RZA, who also stars alongside Mykelti Williamson, Jason Woods, Jessica Allain, Luke Tennie, Tequan Richmond, Paige Hurd, Chelsea Rendon, Mitchell Edwards, Pepi Sonuga, Maestro Harrell, and Michael Ocampo. Jackson serves as producer alongside Greg Gilreath, Adam Hendricks, and John Lang. THRILLER made its world premiere last year at the Los Angeles Film Festival and will drop on Netflix on April 14.
