Comic book creator Todd Walkley, his wife Kathy, assistant Aurora and best friend, Hard Calibre Comics owner Ezra, embark upon a road trip from Toronto to New York Comic Con and bad things start to happen. People start getting killed. It soon becomes clear that a crazed fan is using Todd’s “SLASHERMAN” comic as inspiration for the killings and as the bodies pile up, and Todd’s friends and family become victims themselves, Todd will be forced to take artistic responsibility.

The film stars: Jesse Willimas, Jordana Brewster, Jay Baruchel and Niamh Wilson. It’s directed by Jay Baruchel.

After watching this trailer a few times now, I have questions. For some reason I am getting  ‘The Dark Half’ teas, while at the same time I got a little ‘High Tension’. Nonetheless, I will be watching, hell Jesse Williams is in it. The scowl alone means he’s taking this situation serious.
