The horror film Skillhouse, featuring ex-UFC fighter Paige VanZant and social influencer Bryce Hall, is set for a nationwide release on July 11, starring Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and directed by Josh Stolberg, with the plot revolving around influencers facing deadly social media challenges.
Ex-UFC fighter Paige VanZant and social influencer-turned-bare-knuckle fighter Bryce Hall are about to make their big screen debut. They’re set to scream and bleed in a new horror flick.
The film, titled Skillhouse, is produced by Ryan Kavanaugh’s GenTV productions. It’s hitting theaters nationwide on July 11, thanks to Fathom Entertainment. Deadline spilled the beans first.
Leading the cast is Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, with Josh Stolberg directing. You might know Stolberg from his work on Saw X, Jigsaw, and Piranha 3D. Quite the resume for a horror director!
Skillhouse isn’t your typical horror movie. It’s a high-stakes social media nightmare. Ten influencers find themselves trapped in a sinister content house, competing in deadly challenges. Here, clout means survival.
Kavanaugh, who produced hits like The Social Network and The Fighter, has a connection to fight fans too. He was once an owner of Triller, the company behind BKFC.
In Kavanaugh’s words, "Skillhouse has been a revolutionary film project from the outset." It promises thrills for both social media addicts and horror enthusiasts alike.
This film marks VanZant’s first major role since her UFC days. She’s been making waves in Dana White’s Power Slap promotion lately. Quite the career pivot!
Bryce Hall, on the other hand, snagged one of the lead roles. Interestingly, part of the movie was shot at Sway House, where Hall and other influencers rose to fame.
Mark your calendars: Skillhouse shares its release date with James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman movie. July 11 is going to be quite the cinematic showdown!
