added: Tue, Mar 8th '16

"Harold & Kumar" star Kal Penn plays a creepy Terry Richardson-like photographer in the trailer for the horror thriller "The Girl in the Photographs," which was executive produced by the late, great horror master Wes Craven (it's his final screen credit).

Also starring Claudia Lee (TV's Hart of Dixie), Kenny Wormald (Footloose remake), Miranda Rae Mayo (True Detective), Katharine Isabelle (American Mary), and Mitch Pileggi (X-Files), the movie is about a young small-town woman (Lee) who is being targeted by a pair of picture-taking serial killers known for leaving photos of murdered victims as a twisted "homage" to a sleazy celebrity photographer (Penn).

Directed by screenwriter Nick Simon (Cold Comes the Night, The Pyramid), "The Girl in the Photographs" is scheduled to hit theaters and VOD on April 1st.

synopsis:
In Nick Simon’s THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, Colleen’s life isn’t going anywhere. The small town check out girl with natural beauty is bored with her dead end job and annoyed by her apathetic boyfriend. This isn’t the life she wanted. In the midst of her turmoil, a pair of deranged serial killers begin leaving her photos of their mutilated victims.

Her chance to escape comes in the form of Peter Hemmings, a hipster celebrity photographer who has traveled back to his hometown of Spearfish, South Dakota, with a pack of models, intent on copying the killers’ intense and unapologetic artistry. When he learns Colleen is the killers’ muse, Peter resolves to make her his own and use her as the centerpiece of a photo campaign in Los Angeles.

But before Colleen can leave her old life behind, she must contend with the desires of her murderous stalkers who have chosen her last night in town to execute their most provocative work to date.
