Lionsgate's New Vampire Thriller Gets a Bloody First Trailer [Exclusive]

Horror stalks the Hollywood Hills in The Teenage Vampire, a new thriller coming from Lionsgate just in time for Halloween. In the film, an ancient evil lures in its prey with the most precious commodity in Los Angeles: real estate. Collider is proud to exclusively present the new trailer for The Teenage Vampire, which will be released on video on demand and digital on October 27. Sandra (Jazlyn Nicolette Sward, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty) is a regular California teenager who's just graduated from high school and is looking to have the summer of her life. She lucks into the find of her life: a Hollywood Hills bungalow that's being rented out for an outrageously low price.

Despite her mother's misgivings, it seems like a great place; even Viktor (James Chalke, Dead Trigger), the landlord, is friendly, and he's never there during the day. Naturally, she invites all her friends there for the biggest bash of the summer. Unfortunately, red Solo cups won't be the only things getting drained. Viktor and his lover Isabelle (Spice Williams-Crosby, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) are vampires, and they're about to treat Sandra's friends like an all-night buffet. And they've got something even worse in store for Sandra: after all, she feels like she's known Viktor all her life, and he's got decades-old photographs of a woman who looks just like her.

The Teenage Vampire is directed by Frank Mora (Angels' Fire); he also co-wrote the script with Asif Akbar (Nevada Heist). It also stars Kelly Lynn Reiter (Deadlock), Courtney Akbar (Clown Fear), and Michael Cervantes (Night Carnage). It's a production of Grindstone Entertainment, with Lionsgate handling distribution.
