Karen Skloss’s psychedelic teen horror film The Honor Farm will make its world premiere this year at SXSW. The film incorporates horror, coming-of-age, 80’s teen comedies and molds them all together in this brilliantly clever story about a high school girl’s voyage through young adulthood. Skloss gives a new angle to the teen movie genre.
The Honor Farm stars Olivia Applegate (NBC’s Revolution, upcoming in Terrence Malick’s Song To Song). The film is directed by none other than the successful Karen Skloss, produced by David Hartstein, co-produced by Jason Wehling, and executive produced by Louis Black (founder of SXSW).
When Lucy’s prom night falls apart, she finds herself jumping into a hearse headed for a psychedelic party in the woods. Looking for a thrill, the party wanders deeper into the forest, to a haunted and abandoned prison work farm. A secret wish and a summoning of the dead send the group on a mind-bending trip into a dangerous trap.
This will be a horror film teen will remember for a long time. We said high wasn’t a trip! Catch the film at SXSW:
