A routine audition turns into a role to die for in the trailer for We Can’t Leave.
The indie slasher will be released on Digital next Tuesday, May 12, from Dark Star Pictures.
Set inside a remote building, the film follows a group of actors who realize far too late that the endless hallways, locked doors, and masked figures stalking them aren’t part of the script. As the screams turn real and the body count rises, escape becomes impossible — and survival is the only role left to play.
Mike Lordi serves as writer, director, cinematographer, and editor, in addition to producing with Damian Mamane via their 1739 Films.
Grace Allison, James Parent, Fredd Maas, Caterina Dorsey, Ernie Daw, Ron Lordi, Danny Gulics, Kristen Ciasullo, Genesis Diaz-Hall, Courtney Lordi, Dante Giovanni, and Julie Tzivas star.
“We Can’t Leave was born from a love of old-school horror and the grind of independent filmmaking,” says Lordi. “I wanted to take the familiar world of auditions and twist it into something bloody, fun, and darkly humorous, dragging the audience through the worst audition night imaginable.”
Lordi is currently working on a sequel.
