Writer Todd Farmer and director Patrick Lussier (exclusive interview), who collaborated on My Bloody Valentine 3D and Drive Angry, reteamed on Trick, a brand new Halloween-themed horror film that will release in theaters and on VOD platforms October 18th via RLJE Films! Deadline first reported the news.
The film stars Omar Epps in the main role of Detective Mike Denver, a man obsessed with a killer that has eluded him.
Trick also stars Ellen Adair (Showtime’s “Homeland” and “Billions,” USA’s “The Sinner”) as Sheriff Lisa Jayne, the sheriff in the small town of Benton who has always considered Detective Denver as her mentor. Cheryl Winston, the only survivor of the latest round of killings in her small town, will be played by Kristina Reyes (“Blindspot,” “Shades of Blue”). Talbott is played by horror legend Tom Atkins, and Jamie Kennedy(Scream) will play Dr. Steven.
The story centers on an elusive serial killer, who descends upon a small town annually.
“He is responsible for gruesome murders year after year, each seemingly unrelated. No one believes this could be the same killer. Detective Denver has faced Trick once before, having -shot and killed him. Or so everyone keeps telling him. However, Denver knows Trick is still out there, and he’s coming back for revenge.”
I spoke with Lussier back in May about the film where he revealed some details about the film’s slasher, Trick Weaver, who kills as performance art. Click the link for all the goodies.
