I remember being a huge fan of early CollegeHumor vid's, and even remember Josh Ruben – the writer, director, and star of the upcoming horror-comedy Scare Me – as being (one of) the highlights. So I'm definitely curious about his aforementioned debut feature film, which is coming out on Blu-ray March 2nd (PRE-ORDER HERE!) RLJE films has even released a new trailer, ahead of said release, which you can watch at the top of the article!
Here's the official synopsis:
Fred (Josh Ruben, CollegeHumor), a frustrated copywriter, checks into a winter cabin to start his first novel. While jogging in the nearby woods, he meets Fanny (Aya Cash, “You’re The Worst” "The Boys"), a successful and smug young horror author who fuels his insecurities. During a power outage, Fanny challenges Fred to tell a scary story. As a storm sets in, they pass the time spinning spooky tales fueled by the tensions between them, and Fred is forced to confront his ultimate fear: Fanny is the better storyteller. The stakes are raised when they’re visited by a horror fan (Chris Redd, “Saturday Night Live”) who delivers levity (and a pizza) to the proceedings.
