Now actor Jackson Rathbone, who played the vampire Jasper Hale in the TWILIGHT movies, has set out to do something intentionally creepy, taking on the role of a murderer in the "cautionary high school drama" DO NOT REPLY.
Written and directed by Daniel Woltosz and Walt Woltosz, DO NOT REPLY follows
Chelsea, a high school introvert who is abducted through a social media app and is forced to look like other girls being held captive. She desperately attempts to persuade them to escape before they all become victims in a virtual reality filmed murders.
The idea of a killer making VR snuff films is an interesting one, I haven't heard of that before.
