Altitude has announced that Tiger House, a new slasher starring Kaya Scodelario, Tom Cullen, and Dougray Scott, will be opening in the UK on VOD platforms August 24th before arriving on DVD a week later. It will open in the States through Magnet in October.
Directed by Thomas Daily, Empire scored the trailer premiere, which has been shared below. It looks like they were inspired by Adam Wingard’s You’re Next, only this looks pretty lame. Oddly enough, I think showing the masked intruders changes it from horror into a thriller.
“One fateful night, troubled teenager Kelly sneaks into her boyfriend Mark’s house to deliver some sobering news: she’s pregnant.
But tonight, she is not the only unwelcome visitor: an armed gang breaks in. Mark’s father Doug manages a bank and the gang plan on using Doug’s help to carry out a daring heist using his captive family as leverage.
Their plan quickly unravels when during the ensuing struggle, the gang’s leader Shane gets injured and is left on Mark’s bed fading in and out of consciousness. Unbeknownst to the intruders, a terrified and vulnerable Kelly is only inches away under the very same bed.
From her cramped hiding position, Kelly overhears everything and now knows too much, putting her life in terrible danger.
Now, Kelly must draw on all her reserves of strength and her skills of dexterity, to escape. As the situation spirals out of control, the suburban house becomes a terrifying arena for violence. Faced with no alternative, she must turn and fight back.“
