Tyler Shields’ revenge-thriller FINAL GIRL sounds like a wild ride, a flick that actually positions Abigail Breslin – the cute little moppet from ZOMBIELAND – as a badass killer. That’s certainly going to require serious suspension of disbelief, but let’s wait to see what the flick has up its sleeve.

Today we learn, via the Film Catalogue, that FINAL GIRL has added to its cast. In addition to the previously reported Breslin and Alexander Ludwig, the film will feature Wes Bentley, Logan Huffman, Michael Trevino, Connor Paolo and Francesca Eastwood (Clint’s daughter).

Here’s the full synopsis for FINAL GIRL: Loner Veronica is new to school, shy and vulnerable the perfect target for a group of teenage boys who lure girls into the woods to hunt and kill them for sport. It’s only after they get her alone that she turns the tables on them, escaping and revealing she’s armed and knows how to defend herself. Little do they know, Veronica is an assassin-in-training, and she’s chosen killing these boys as her final test. When the dust clears, Veronica will find out if she can be the final girl these boys ever have a chance to hurt.

Pretty twisty, eh? I guess this is like HANNA meets I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, and that’s a wacky enough proposition to get me invested.
