New Horror Alert: First Chilling Look at ‘Psycho Killer’ Released as Tickets Go on Sale
A new horror movie called Psycho Killer is finally coming to theaters after a long journey. The film was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, who is famous for writing Se7en. According to 20th Century Studios, it will hit theaters on February 20.
The story follows Jane, a highway patrol officer in Kansas played by Georgina Campbell. She is searching for the man who brutally killed her husband. The killer, known in the news as the Satanic Slasher, is played by James Preston Rogers, a former professional wrestler. The movie shows that he is even more dangerous than people realize.
This project has been in the works since 2009. Over the years, several directors were attached, including Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit, and horror director Eli Roth was supposed to help produce. However, the movie never came together until Gavin Polone stepped in to direct, marking his first feature film as a director.
A first look at the film has been released and it promises a tense and dark experience. A clip showing a scene from the killer’s perspective has been shared, giving fans a taste of the suspense. Other actors in the film include Logan Miller and Malcolm McDowell.

The movie has received an R rating for strong bloody violence, strong s**** content, graphic nudity, drug use, and language. It is meant for adult audiences and promises to stay true to the dark tone Walker is known for. Horror fans have been waiting for years to see this story on the big screen, so expectations are high.
This movie could be one of the scariest films of the year, especially with a writer like Andrew Kevin Walker behind it. What do you think? Are you excited to see Psycho Killer? Share your thoughts in the comments.
