Actress and model Brande Roderick (“Baywatch,” “Celebrity Apprentice”) is making her directorial debut with Wineville, a horror movie that’s been acquired by Dark Star Pictures.
THR reports that Dark Star will release Wineville in September 2024.
Brande Roderick stars in the 1970s-set horror film as Tess Lott, “a woman who escaped her abusive father as a teen. Now she returns as a single mother to her family’s vineyard after her father’s death to sort out her inheritance, only to discover the dark secrets and painful memories she left behind return as a murderous legacy sparking violence and death.”
“Wineville was influenced by ’70s horror classics like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Last House on the Left, as I wanted my first feature to be not only in the horror genre that I loved so much growing up, but to also pay homage to the flavor and style of that decade’s films that made such an impact on me,” Roderick said in a statement shared by THR.
Carolyn Hennesy, Texas Battle, Casey King and Keaton Roderick Cadrez also star.
Richard Schenkman (Mischief Night, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies) wrote the script.
