XLrator Media acquires Wrecker, starring Anna Hutchison

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

CABIN IN THE WOODS star Anna Hutchison (pictured) goes up against a psychotic truck driver in WRECKER, which has just been acquired by XLrator Media for U.S. distribution. We are seriously lacking in the demonic truck horror-thriller genre, so count my ass in for this one! Expect it to be in the same vein as DUEL and MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, I also sense a little bit of JOY RIDE in there as well. It'll be interesting to see how much like those films WRECKER actually is and if it'll end up having a voice of its own. Time will tell!

The story follows best friends Emily and Lesley as they take a road trip to a music festival in the desert. Uh, oh.

Emily “borrows” her boyfriend’s Mustang GT to make things exciting, but the partying ends when they find themselves pursued by a seemingly psychotic truck driver, who forces them to play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. With an unknown evil force bearing down on them and a long stretch of deserted highway ahead, their idyllic road trip becomes their worst nightmare.

“WRECKER will revive the classic horror-thriller genre and keep audiences at the edge of their seats,” said Evan Tylor, CEO of IndustryWorks Pictures. “It was fun to create a modern genre film that pays homage to a classic. We don’t see a lot of originality anymore so we wanted to create something a little different this time.”

Directed by Michael Bafaro, WRECKER also stars Drea Whitburn and is produced by Evan Tylor, John Curtis and Don Knodel. Keep an eye here for more!
