Scout Taylor-Compton played teen heroine Laurie Strode in Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake, and came back for Zombie’s Halloween II. Danielle Harris played child heroine Jamie Lloyd in Halloween 4: The Return of the Michael Myers and Halloween 5, then was cast to play Annie Brackett in Zombie’s two Halloween films. Now, Taylor-Compton and Harris have a podcast called Talk Scary to Me, which is part of the Bloody Disgusting network – and our friends over at Bloody Disgusting have just shared the news that Taylor-Compton and Harris will be directing a movie together! It is, of course, a horror movie, and the title is Last Chance Motel.
Taylor-Compton and Harris also crafted the story for the film, which will follow a newlywed couple whose dream wedding spirals into a bloody nightmare when they uncover that their secluded venue—a desolate motel deep in the Nevada desert—is run by a relentless bloodthirsty family with dark secrets revealing that one bride’s future may not be all that it was promised to be.
The cast includes Shane West (A Walk to Remember), Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Monica Keena (Freddy vs. Jason), Sierra McCormick (The Vast of Night), and Zachary Roozen (Deadly Debutantes), with Taylor-Compton and Harris reserving lead roles for themselves.
Taylor-Compton provided the following statement: “We’ve always wanted to create something that speaks to horror fans in a way that’s both nostalgic and fresh. Danielle and I have talked about this for so long—we wanted to be more than just scream queens. This film is the first step in carving out our own space in horror filmmaking.” Harris added, “This project is deeply personal to us. It’s our love letter to horror—gritty, unrelenting, and absolutely terrifying. We want to create films that feel like the ones we grew up on, the kind that stay with you long after the credits roll. This is just the beginning of what we plan to build together.“
Coming our way from Talk Scary Productions and Hillin Entertainment, Last Chance Motel is being described as a “pulse-pounding psychological thriller with slasher elements” and “promises to deliver a fresh, blood-soaked addition to modern horror,” paying “homage to classic slashers while injecting a modern psychological twist.“
