The upcoming new horror thriller The Curse Of Downers Grove is a film we’ve been talking about for quite a while here at Horror Society. Today brings news of the film’s theatrical and home video release. Anchor Bay Entertainment will release THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE In Theaters and Digital HD on August 21st. The film will be available on VOD, DVD & Blu-ray September 1st. The film is based on the suburban city of Downers Grove, Illinois and I have a vested interest in this film since I live in the Chicagoland area and my wife went to school at Downers Grove South High School, so I’m interested to see how this film turns out.
THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE is directed by DERICK MARTINI (Lymelife) and is co-written by DERICK MARTINI and BRET EASTON ELLIS (American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction, Less Than Zero).
The film stars BELLA HEATHCOTE (Dark Shadows, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), LUCAS TILL (X-Men franchise, Walk The Line), PENELOPE MITCHELL (Netflix’s Hemlock Grove, CW’s “The Vampire Diaries”), with TOM ARNOLD (True Lies, Soul Plane) and KEVIN ZEGERS (The Mortal Instruments,CW’s “Gossip Girl”).
Plot Synopsis
The town of Downers Grove looks like your average suburban neighborhood — but Downers Grove has a disturbing secret…. For the past eight years, one senior from every high school graduating class has met a bizarre death right before graduation day. And this year, Chrissie Swanson (Bella Heathcote) has a terrible feeling that she is going to be the one to die. Can Chrissie survive the curse of Downers Grove or will she, like those seniors before her, fall prey to the town’s deadly secret?
