Horror thriller The Rake sweeps up Shenae Grimes, Rachel Melvin and more

Last Updated on August 5, 2021


“Good god, do you see it? Can it be?! Oh Christ, it’s true! THE RAKE is here!”

That’s just piece of imagined dialogue from, yes, THE RAKE, a horror thriller announced today in Variety. The flick, which is being helmed by Tony Wash (who has a handful of horror shorts to his name), will star 90210’s Shenae Grimes (pictured below), ZOMBEAVERS cutie Rachel Melvin (pictured above), Chicago Fire’s Izabella Miko and Joey Bicicchi.

THE RAKE follows…

three siblings as they return home to reconcile the murder of their parents 20 years earlier, and discover a startling connection to a local urban legend.

Bet you anything The Rake did it!

Wash’s short, THE MUCK, premiered at SXSW last year and was apparently well-received enough to lead to this project, which is being produced by Red Band Films.
