The Telling
Everyone's dying to be them.
Directed by Harry Grigsby, Nicholas Carpenter
Produced by Alta Loma Entertainment, Breakout Entertainment
A horror anthology built around sorority hazing and storytelling, mixing dark humor with genre-hopping scares across three distinct tales of murder, the undead, and supernatural terror.
In this horror anthology film, three girls pledge the most popular - and cruelest - sorority on campus. For their final task, they must tell the scariest story they know. Containing three distinct stories - one featuring a murderous doll, one a has-been actress and her run in with a film crew of the undead and, finally, a hunt-and-kill fright-fest.
