‘The Sacrifice Game’ Trailer: Prep School Girls Face A Deadly Cult In Jenn Wexler’s Holiday Horror

Traveling cults, the Christmas season, an all-girl prep school…sounds like the perfect mix for a killer horror flick. The Sacrifice Game is just what genre fans ordered, and it comes from filmmaker Jenn Wexler. If you saw her 2018 slasher The Ranger, then you know she’s got the goods, and this one ought to be a lot of fun.

Wexler reunites with The Ranger star Chloë Levine, along with Aladdin star Mena Massoud,  Olivia Scott Welch, Gus Kenworthy, Madison Baines, Derek Johns, Laurent Pitre, and Georgia Acken.

Set in 1971, the film follows a group of prep school girls who can’t go home for the holidays. To make matters infinitely worse, they become the targets of a traveling cult.

Of course this is a Shudder release, and they plan to make The Sacrifice Game available to stream on December 8th.

Here’s the synopsis: The Blackvale School for Girls, 1971. It’s bad enough that students Samantha (Madison Baines) and Clara (Georgia Acken) can’t go home for the holidays, but things take a deadly turn when a gang of cult killers arrives at their doorstep—just in time for Christmas.
