by William J. WrightMay 15, 2025
Sinners beware! The exclusive trailer for writer-director Terence Hines‘ slasher MAULER is here, and it’s a brutal, creepy mash-up of religion gone insane and gore. Kate Noel, Skyylar Perdomo, Sarah Siverson, Jayden Stith, Breck Cuddy and Tanya Champoux star.
From the official synopsis: “Desperate for cash, five friends sign up for a $25K dark web contest inside a haunted murder house. But when they face off against a 7-foot-tall religious maniac with a sledgehammer, it’s no longer about the money – it’s a fight for survival.”
Repent and run because MAULER smashes its way to digital and on-demand platforms beginning May 20, only from One Tree Entertainment. See the trailer now!
