It has been over ten years since the last time Scout Taylor-Compton crossed paths with Rob Zombie's version of Michael Myers, but that doesn't mean she's safe from slashers. A trailer has arrived online for the genre regular's latest horror project THE LURKER, and in this one she's going up a different masked maniac.
Directed by Eric Liberacki from a screenplay by John Lerchen, THE LURKER tells the story of
a group of high school students celebrating their final performance of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. When students and faculty begin to die at the hands of a savage killer, it’s a race against time for the cast to escape with their lives or face their final curtain call.
Taylor-Compton is joined in the cast by Domenica Cameron-Scorsese, Rikki Lee Travolta, Michael Emery, Ari Lehman, and Naomi Grossman.
You might notice that the students in this movie are going to Crystal Lake High School; that's because it was filmed and is set in the Chicago suburb of Crystal Lake, Illinois. But I'm sure the filmmakers were giving a nod to FRIDAY THE 13TH by keeping the name – "first Jason" himself Lehman is in the cast, after all.
THE LURKER is now available to watch on Amazon, Vudu, FandangoNow, iTunes, FlexFling, GooglePlay, RedBox, and YouTube. Give the trailer a look and see if you'd be interested in checking out the full film.
