Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Anchor Bay has released the official trailer for THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE, the film adaptation of Michael Hornburg's book. While it doesn't look like anything too special, the film is intriguing because it was produced and co-written by AMERICAN PSYCHO author Bret Easton Ellis. 

Starring Bella Heathcote, Lucas Till, Penelope Mitchell, Tom Arnold, and Kevin Zegers, THE CURSE goes like this: 

The town of Downers Grove looks like your average suburban neighborhood — but Downers Grove has a disturbing secret… For the past eight years, one senior from every high school graduating class has met a bizarre death right before graduation day. And this year, Chrissie Swanson  has a terrible feeling that she is going to be the one to die. Can Chrissie survive the curse of Downers Grove or will she, like those seniors before her, fall prey to the town's deadly secret?

Directed by Derick Martini, THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE will receive a limited theatrical release on August 21st before heading to Blu-ray/DVD on September 1st.
