Tubi has announced a September 25 release date for the original film Buzzkill, a horror-comedy directed by Jem Garrard. The movie stars Siena Agudong, known for Sidelined: The QB and Me and its sequel, alongside Brec Bassinger from Final Destination: Bloodlines and Aliyah’s Interlude from English Teacher.
The film follows a group of sorority sisters who become trapped with a murderer. The protagonist, Nora, portrayed by Agudong, possesses fragmented memories while intoxicated that may provide crucial information for identifying the killer among their group. The script was written by Suzanne Keilly, who worked on Slumber Party Massacre, while Garrard previously directed R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead. Blue Ice Pictures produced the feature, with Ryan Plachcinski, Haley Wiseman, Adam Friedlander and Tebogo Maila serving as producers.
According to Agudong, the production fostered a collaborative environment where the cast felt encouraged to explore comedic moments. The director provided the ensemble with a curated list of classic horror films to study genre conventions with the intention of subverting them. Garrard characterized the film as embracing an unconventional approach to the slasher format, with Nora functioning as a flawed protagonist who frequently makes mistakes rather than embodying the typical final girl archetype. The director emphasized that the ensemble cast brought distinct character interpretations and chemistry to the project.
