The female-driven splatter comedy combines the slasher and body-horror subgeners.
Antenna will release JUMP SCARE on VOD platforms December 22. The winner of numerous festival prizes was written and directed by Donnie Hobbie and stars Shannon Dang, Erin Ruth Walker, Madison Abbott, Natasha Estrada and Eric Roberts. The synopsis: “A washed-up metal band calling themselves Jump Scare heads to a decaying farmhouse where legendary rock group Blitzgasm supposedly vanished years earlier. Their mission? Write the album that finally makes them immortal. Their reality? Flat tires, questionable drugs and unresolved grudges. Tensions flare faster than their creative process and the band’s sarcastic bassist, burnout guitarist, Goth mystic, and permanently overwhelmed roadie find themselves trapped in a rural nightmare populated by creepy locals, VHS confessionals, dead cats, mystery meat cakes, and a deeply unsettling woman with an eyepatch who may or may not be murdering people between Bible verses.”
