Trepidity 80s Slasher Horror Film from Acrostar Films Begins Production in March
Trepedity, an independent horror film, is set to begin filming in March in Western Illinois.
Trepidity is an independent horror film in the 80s slasher style. A group of friends get together in an old barn for a night of partying and for some unexplained reason, decide to call upon a demon thinking it’s an urban legend. Surprise! It’s not. Now they find themselves trapped in a barn with a demon which leaps from character to character until it’s ready to kill. Not knowing who the demon is in, the friendships are put to the test. It’s a race to see who’ll survive until midnight.
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. No one to trust.
