You ever hear of extreme horror experiences like Blackout, The Tension Experience, or The Great Horror Campout? It was batshit-crazy attractions such as those that sparked the creative fire behind Preston DeFrancis’ RUIN ME. After studying films like Friday the 13th, A Horrible Way to Die, and David Fincher’s The Game, DeFrancis and team embarked on a 15 day journey to bring their very own (fictional) extreme horror experience, Slasher Sleepout, to life in RUIN ME.

The trailer promises plenty of nods to the genre’s roots while planting its feet firmly within 2017 with its witty banter and modern edge.

What began four years ago as a tingle in the back of my neck is now a feature film for you to enjoy. If
we’ve done our jobs, you’ll know at the end why we had to call it RUIN ME.  —Preston DeFrancis

We’ve been waiting on this one for quite a while, so check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think! If you’re attending this year’s FrightFest London, RUIN ME will have its world premiere on August 26th, 2017.

Alexandra reluctantly tags along for Slasher Sleepout, an extreme event that is part camping trip, part haunted house, and part escape room. But when the fun turns deadly, Alex has to play the game if she wants to make it out alive.
