Shelter is not safety for this group of college kids.

Gravitas Ventures releases KILLER, written and directed by A.D. Smith, on VOD December 26. It stars Madison Alexander, Larshay Watson, Blaine Jewell, Charisse Bland, Jeneka Jenae, Shannon Walton, Divine Dent, Mason Heller, Aric K. Delashmit, The Brock, Chasity Nicole and Dennis Sherrod as The Killer. The synopsis: “In March of 2020, a two-week shutdown is ordered across the country after a virus strikes the nation. Ten college friends decide to quarantine together under the same roof. To pass the time, they play a parlor game that makes one of them a killer and the others, the community. But what happens when the game becomes real?

“The two couples, Brandon [Watson] & Cindy [Bland] and Will [Jewell] and Kelly [Alexander], just want to spend the next two weeks together hanging out in the first mass quarantine of the century. But their friend Sam [Delashmit] is all too eager to party and has made other plans, inviting five more of their crew. What they thought would be a two-week vacation turns into a two-month prison term as the quarantine is extended and they are forced to stay in the house after one of them contracts the virus. Friends turn into foes, secrets are revealed, and a mysterious masked slasher turns their pastime into his/her own murderous entertainment. Will anyone survive this game of Killer?”
