New Year’s Eve Turns Into a Hell of a Night
I love a good thriller, especially one where a good time ends so very, very badly (and appears to give homage to the great Alfred Hitchcock).
Matt Lanter (The Roommate, Vampires Suck, Sorority Row) , Gillian Zinser (Manson Girls), Torrance Coombs and Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers, Last House on the Left, Shark Night 3D) will star in the psychological thriller Liars All, written and directed by Brian Brightly, writes THR.
Alice Evans, Tiffany Mulheron and Randy Wayne also appear in “the story of a group of friends celebrating New Year’s Eve in London by playing a provocative game that ultimately gets terribly out of control.”
The indie production is scheduled to begin filming Monday in L.A.
