Described as a throwback to the early slashers of the 1980s, the upcoming Stiletto will star a handful of familiar faces, including AEW pro wrestling star Stephon ‘Swerve’ Strickland.
Strickland can currently be seen in Night of the Missing, now streaming on SCREAMBOX.
Stiletto is being directed by Samuel Gonzalez Jr. (The Retaliators), Deadline reports.
Gigi Gustin (Night of the Missing) will also star alongside Charlotte McKinney (Fantasy Island), Colleen Camp (Amsterdam, American Hustle), Pancho Moler (3 from Hell), Tyler Abron (Fear), Stephen Blackehart (Guardians of the Galaxy), Meghan Carrasquillo (Four), Russell Todd (Friday the 13th Part 2) and Mia Challis (FBI: International).
In the upcoming horror movie, “A year after the grisly murder of a local exotic dancer, the victim’s sister, Lyric [Gustin], searches for the serial killer responsible as he stalks and kills his favorite dancers on the night of the anniversary.”
“When I was a kid I would venture into the back section of the video store to find the most obscure 80s horror flicks I could find,” said Gonzalez Jr, who also wrote the script. “I was fascinated with the ‘strange and unusual’ but most specifically, the early slasher cinema of that period.
“Stiletto follows in the bloody footsteps of those films we love so much but also pushes it to the cinematic limit, with memorable kills and a diverse cast of both up and comers and legends alike. It’s a true love ‘obituary’ and we can’t wait to introduce the world to our Stiletto Killer.”
