Slasher Film ‘The Ranger’ Gets a New Trailer Ahead of Next Month’s Shudder Premiere

Published

on

Director Jenn Wexler‘s punk slasher The Ranger proved to be a hit on the festival circuit, and it’s next headed to Shudder‘s streaming service next month, on Thursday, May 9th!

Check out Shudder’s new trailer below, while you wait!

In the film:

When Chelsea and her friends get in trouble with the cops, they flee the city and go on the run. Fueled by a hallucinogenic drug called Echo, they hope to lay low-and get high-in an old family hideout in the woods. But Chelsea’s got reservations about going back to nature and secrets she’s not sharing with her friends. When a shot rings out, her past comes crashing back, and the punks find themselves pitted against the local authority- an unhinged park ranger with an axe to grind.

Jeremy Holm (“House of Cards”, “Mr Robot”), Chloe Levine (The Transfiguration, The OA) and Amanda Grace Benitez (All Cheerleaders Die) star alongside Granit Lahu, Jeremy Pope and Bubba Weiler in the film from Larry Fessenden’s Glass Eye Pix and Andrew van den Houten’s Hood River Entertainment.

The killer soundtrack features The Grim, the Avengers, Fang and more.

The Ranger was written by Jenn Wexler and Giaco Furino.

Andrew van den Houten and Ashleigh Snead produced for Hood River Entertainment and Larry Fessenden and Heather Buckley produced for Glass Eye Pix, along with Wexler.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.
