Daily Dead has published an interview with Brec Bassinger discussing the horror, humor, and killer costumes in the upcoming film BUZZKILL. The conversation centers on the specific tonal elements and visual design choices that define the project.
BUZZKILL is written by Suzanne Keilly, known for SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, and directed by Jem Garrard. The film stars Siena Agudong, Brec Bassinger, Aliyah’s Interlude, Kealeboga Masango, Angela Daytona Wu, Jessie Diepeveen, Atara Leigh Jawahir, Frances Sholto-Douglas, Alessa Maria-Dione, and Gemma French.
The official synopsis describes a group of sorority sisters trapped with a vengeful killer. Party-girl Nora, played by Siena Agudong, discovers that the drunker she gets, the more her tipsy memories reveal clues about who is murdering her friends. This premise blends standard slasher tropes with a unique investigative mechanic tied to the protagonist’s state of intoxication.
The interview was conducted by Derek Anderson, the Managing Editor of Daily Dead. Anderson’s background includes a fascination with fear sparked by R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and the show Are You Afraid of the Dark?. He has been writing about horror for the outlet while also enjoying novels by Stephen King and Brian Keene.
This report accompanies other recent horror coverage from Daily Dead, including news that Nelson will direct a new SAW movie for Lionsgate and Blumhouse Atomic Monster. The outlet also published reviews for VICTORIAN PSYCHO and GHOST IN THE CELL from Fantastic Fest 2026, noting Maika Monroe’s performance in the former and the horror comedy elements of the latter.
No release date or distribution details for BUZZKILL were provided in the source material.
