Directed by Kristian McKay (Ventaja), Kill Trip has been shooting on location in Bastrop, Texas. The film stars Samaire Armstrong (Terror On The Prairie), Corin Nemec (Place Of Bones), Stelio Savante, (Infidel), Todd Jenkins (The Channel), and Brittany McVicker (Break).
They join exciting newcomers Tate Christensen, Diletta Guglielmi, Violeta Ortega, Maya Hendricks, Chase Breithoff, and Brian Latimer in the lead cast.
The synopsis reads: On their way to a Texas music festival, a group of friends break down in the middle of nowhere. Stranded, they accept a ride from a soft-spoken van driver and end up in a dusty, trippy town that time forgot. But when night falls at the motel and friends begin to disappear, the line between hospitality and horror vanishes—and it becomes chillingly clear: not everyone is making it to Austin.
Produced by Daunesh Alcott and Kristian McKay, Kill Trip is McKay’s first American feature. He has garnered awards that include “The Golden Palm Award” at the Mexico International Film Festival in 2018, the “Audience Award” at NewFilmmakers LA 2018, and Official Selection at Guayaquil International Film Festival for his debut feature film, Ventaja. Ventaja, a thriller filmed in South America, enjoyed a successful eight-week theatrical run with Cinemark Cinemas in 2019 and was nominated as Ecuador’s Oscar submission for the Best Foreign Film category.
