It’s been a while since we brought you an update on I Spit on Your Grave director Steven R. Monroe’s latest feature, MoniKa, although the wait is now over. The Cerina Vincent-starring revenge thriller is slated to have its premiere this Friday, July 20th, at the Las Vegas Film Festival.

Co-executive produced by actress Vincent (who appears in the titular role) with Monroe and producers Anthony Fankhauser and Corey A. Jackson, MoniKa stars Jason Wiles and C. Thomas Howell as well as Jeff Branson, Chad Lindberg and Andrew Howard (the three appeared in Monroe’s I Spit on Your Grave redux) and actors Lew Temple (The Devil’s Rejects), Shayla Beesley (Spreading Darkness), Raffaello Degruttola, Elisa Donovan and genre vet Tim Thomerson.

MoniKa is set to bow this Friday, July 20th, at 3:00 pm at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel and Casino (3000 Paradise Road, Las Vegas) with a director Q&A to follow, bookended by a cocktail after-party at the Vanguard Lounge. Tickets can be purchased here.

Synopsis
The film is a violent, edgy ride focusing on the forlorn Reagan Tyler, a man who is troubled by visions and premonitions that ultimately lead him to Las Vegas. It’s there that Reagan meets the beautiful and mysterious Monika, a young woman who turns out to have been killed the night before he even met her. Reagan is then forced to put the puzzle together of what happened, how she is still present, and help Monika with her revenge on the killers of her younger sister.
