EXCLUSIVE:  Benacus Entertainment has unveiled a quartet of buzzy rising UK actors who will co-star in its game show-themed slasher horror film I’m Your Host as filming get underway in Rome.

They are Ella-Rae Smith (The Stranger, Into the Badlands, Jamie Flatters (Avatar 2, 3 & 4, The Forgotten Battle), David Angland (The Devil’s Hour, Everything Now), and Joelle Rae (Get Even, The Gallery).

The movie follows four friends trapped in a sadistic game show, where they must outwit a twisted serial killer in a deadly race against time. With every move, they edge closer to freedom—or their final gruesome fate.

U.S. director DW Medoff ((Pollen, I Will Never Leave You Alone) is directing from a screenplay by Joey Miller.

Atlanta-based Benacus Entertainment is producing the film in association with Jacksonville-based company RNF Productions.

Producers Seth Michaels, Sara Sometti, Michaels and Reece Foster at Benacus Entertainment and RNF Productions are promising a fresh take on the horror genre.
