Trailer: Jackson Rathbone horror film Do Not Reply coming in October

Our own JimmyO got the chance to watch the "cautionary high school drama" DO NOT REPLY last year and wasn't exactly a fan of it, giving it a 4/10 review. But if you've been curious to check it out for yourself, we've got some good news for you today: DO NOT REPLY will be receiving a theatrical and On Demand release on October 2nd. It's already available for pre-order on iTunes.

Written and directed by Daniel Woltosz and Walt Woltosz, the film stars Amanda Arcuri, Jackson Rathbone, Kerri Medders, Elise Luthman, Ashlee Fuss, Ivon Millan, and Thom Gossom Jr. 

The story follows 

Chelsea, who falls prey to a social media predator. She meets Brad at a Halloween party and is abducted. Chelsea is eventually allowed to stay in his fortified house with other girls who Brad plans to kill in his virtual reality almed murders.

Here's a longer synopsis: 

Chelsea, a lonely teenage high school girl, falls prey to a button-down psychopath social media predator. The texting turns into phone calls. When Chelsea feels comfortable enough, Brad invites her to a Halloween warehouse party as a zombie cheerleader. She shows up and Brad is there, concealed in a zombie football quarterback costume. Brad drugs Chelsea and kidnaps her in the parking area outside. Chelsea wakes up chained in a basement with a dirt joor, where Brad, who systematically forces her to refer to herself as Sadie, holds her captive. After being conditioned to behave, she is allowed to stay in his fortiaed house with three other teenage girls. Chelsea soon discovers that Brad kills the girls he abducts while wearing a virtual reality camera helmet so that he can experience it again and again. Chelsea desperately attempts to convince the other girls to try to escape, but to have a aghting chance, she must push her morals and values beyond what she ever imagined.
