Developed by Talk Scary Productions and Hillin Entertainment, Last Chance Motel follows:
… 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 revealing that one bride’s future may not be all that it was promised to be.

In a statement, Taylor-Compton expressed her excitement about the new project:
“We’ve always wanted to create something that speaks to horror fans in a way that’s both nostalgic and fresh […] Danielle and I have talked about this for so long—we wanted to be more than just scream queens. This film is the first step in carving out our own space in horror filmmaking.”
Harris adds:
“This project is deeply personal to us. It’s our love letter to horror—gritty, unrelenting, and absolutely terrifying. We want to create films that feel like the ones we grew up on, the kind that stay with you long after the credits roll. This is just the beginning of what we plan to build together.”
