Sundance 2017: Get a Sneak Peek of Horror-Comedy Series Snatchers
As we told you at the end of last year, the new eight-episode teen horror-comedy series “Snatchers” is having its World Premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in the Midnight Episodic Showcase, and today we have a clip and a few more stills to share.
“Snatchers,” a high school adventure story about friendship, self-worth, and aliens, was created and written by Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman, and Scott Yacyshy, an exciting new team of genre filmmakers.
The directors are Cedars and Kleiman, and the series stars Mary Nepi, Gabrielle Elyse, Austin Fryberger, J.J. Nolan, Nick Gomez, and Rich Fulcher. Eric Fisher, Scott Hinckley, and Elli Legerski produced.
Synopsis:
Sara is one of the cool kids: She’s got the right friends, makes the right jokes… and is totally terrified of losing her status. She’d be a lot more secure if she could just win back her super-hot ex, Skyler. But he’s not interested unless they move to the next level. Sara decides to take the plunge but soon discovers Skyler isn’t just horny like a normal teenage boy. Something changed on his summer trip to Mexico. Something in his nards.
When Sara wakes up the next morning nine months pregnant, she goes to the only person she can trust: her nerdy ex-best friend, Hayley. After a trip to the clinic turns horrific, Sara and Hayley realize this alien problem is only just beginning. Over the course of the night, Sara deals with her deadbeat baby daddy, a disapproving mom, and judgmental friends. Ultimately, this is a story of a girl finding self-worth and learning to accept her choices… by killing aliens.
