Devon Graye, CJ Thomason and Wes Chatham have signed on to star in the scary fillum, Husk, about mad killer scarecrows. Yes, scarecrows. Which pretty much makes this a must-see, when it crops up in Kim’s Video Dungeon in a year’s time.
The trio – the most famous of whom is Graye, who plays young Dexter on the TV show, erm, Dexter – will play schoolmates who, along with two others, are lured into an isolated farm when crows attack their SUV. There, stranded, they’re attacked by supernatural scarecrows, who pick them off one by one and add them to their undead ranks.
As ever with movies like this, the group of friends handily fill out a bunch of stereotypes for ultimate dramatic effect. So Graye is a brainbox, Thomason a regular Joe and Chatham, as befits a man whose name is one letter away from ‘Statham’, is the jock. We’re guessing the other two characters will be girls – one a slut, one a nice girl who’ll save the day.
Husk is currently shooting in Iowa, under the watchful eye of Brett Simmons, who wrote the script. The movie’s based on a short of the same name that he directed, which played at the Sundance Film Festival.
