Blumhouse’s THRILLER Serves Up a Slasher Straight Outta Compton
Blumhouse is flipping slashers pic on their heads as their upcoming horror movie Thriller looks to serve up slasher good-times ala Prom Night and Scream.
The movie subverts the classic slasher genre of the ’70s that usually takes place in white suburbia and sets it in modern-day Compton, CA, where teenagers experience an unforgiving cityscape of racism and violence.

Produced by Divide/Conquer and written and directed by Dallas Jackson, Jackson serves as producer alongside Greg Gilreath, Adam Hendricks, and John Lang. Blumhouse’s Thriller will make its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on September 23rd.
Synopsis:
Thriller follows the story of an introverted young man named Chauncey Page who is sent to juvenile hall after he accidentally kills a young woman who is part of a group of tormentors that play a cruel prank on him. Years later he is released and is back for revenge — and blood — as Chauncey (Jason Woods) serves up some murderous karma as the group, now in high school, gets ready for Homecoming. Dressed in a hoodie and a menacing glare, he terrorizes them and picks them off one by one.
