Scout Taylor-Compton and Danielle Harris are reuniting three generations of scream queens with their new movie. FANGORIA is excited to partner with The Horror Collective to reveal the first trailer and release date for Last Chance Motel, a new slasher from the Halloween stars that’ll make you look twice at the next hotel you book.
Co-directed by Harris and Taylor-Compton, who also star and co-write with Brandon Slagle, Last Chance Motel stars Heather Langenkamp, Shane West, Monica Keena, SIerra McCormick, and Robert Allen Mukes. The film’s synopsis is as follows:
In “Last Chance Motel,” a newlywed couple whose dream wedding spirals into a bloody nightmare when they uncover that their secluded venue-a desolate motel deep in the Nevada desert-is run by a relentless bloodthirsty family with dark secrets. Bobbi Love, the motel's relentlessly enthusiastic owner, and her sons go to great lengths to make Andi and Casey's wedding unforgettable. But the body count rises, Andi and Casey must fight to survive a wedding reception no one was meant to escape.
“While planning my own wedding, I visited several venues that were eerie, isolated, and more than a little unsettling,” says Taylor-Compton. “I couldn’t stop imagining what horrors might lurk behind their walls, and that’s where the idea was born.
Harris and Taylor-Compton produce Last Chance Motel alongside Daemon Hillin, Amy Covell, Tom O’Connell, D.A. and Michelle Sommers, Jeremy Spencer, and Jay and Jen Kaput. The film is set to screen at this month’s Nightcrawler Film Festival in Pittsburgh before it arrives on digital platforms globally.
“When Scout shared the concept with me, I immediately saw the potential to build something that felt both character-driven and genuinely unsettling,” says Harris. “Brandon Slagle’s screenplay gave us a rich world to play in, and together we focused on making the motel feel just as dangerous and memorable as the people inside it.”
Last Chance Motel premieres on VOD on October 6.
