Director Ariel Vida heads to a marijuana farm only to find something horrifying in Trim Season, reports THR.

“The project centers on a group of young people from Los Angeles who head to a remote marijuana farm where they hope to make some quick cash. Soon, they discover the location’s dark secrets as they race against time to escape the mountain on which they are trapped.”

The concept was loosely inspired by a group of women who went missing in Humboldt County, Calif. during harvesting season for marijuana and inspired an upcoming comic as well, according to the website.

The cast is pretty cool, including “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-Klaus, Starry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex Essoe, with Bethlehem Million (Kevin Williamson’s upcoming “Sick”), Jane Badler (“V”, “Free Fall”), Ally Ioannides (Synchronic) and Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”). The cast also includes Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.

Vida, a veteran production designer on films such as Synchronic, Archenemy and She Dies Tomorrow, wrote the screenplay with David Blair, based on a story by Megan Sutherland, Cullen Poythress and Sean E. DeMott.

MeJane Productions’ Badler, Execution Style’s DeMott, and Hlbrk Ent’s Paul Holbrook are producing alongside Paper Street Pictures’ Aaron B. Koontz and Leal Naim as executive producers. Cameron Burns is co-producing with Taylor-Klaus also serving as associate producer.

Trim Season recently wrapped filming in Salt Lake City, UT.
