Exclusive “STAR LIGHT” clip has blood on its hands, plus photos

Horror regulars Scout Taylor-Compton and Tiffany Shepis star in the supernatural thriller that releases later this summer, and we’ve got a bunch of exclusive imagery to share.

1091 Media brings STAR LIGHT to VOD and digital platforms August 4. Directed by Mitchell Altieri (THE NIGHT WATCHMEN, HOLY GHOST PEOPLE) and Lee Cummings from a script by Altieri, Adam Weis and Jamal M. Jennings, it also stars Cameron Johnson, Rahart Adams, Bret Roberts, Liana Ramirez, Garrett Westton and Chandler Rachelle. The synopsis: “STAR LIGHT involves a kind-hearted teenager, Dylan [Johnson], who crashes into a beautiful young woman named Bebe [Taylor-Compton] while skateboarding. She turns out to be a world-famous pop star, who is on the run from her handlers. While he and his group of friends try to help this mysterious woman, unexplained events begin to occur within the home. When Bebe’s threatening handler, Anton [Roberts], shows up demanding her return, the teenagers’ refusal makes him unleash a barrage of dire and otherworldly consequences that turns a fun graduation party into a night of living hell.”
