Embarking on an adventure to a small-town rodeo that’s located deep in the woods may initially seem as though it’s an exciting and unique thing to do. But the leaders of a group that ventures to the seemingly fun event soon discover that it isn’t as innocent as they first believed. The leaders and their group must band together and learn how to fight back against bloodthirsty cowboys in the new teaser trailer and poster for the upcoming horror movie, ‘Lasso.’
The drama is set to be released later this year by Dragonfly Films. The distributor’s CEO, Todd Myers, who also served as an executive producer on ‘Lasso,’ as well as producer Elaine Marie Gibson, unveiled the teaser trailer and poster.
Television helmer, Evan Cecil, made his feature film directorial debut with the thriller. The horror movie stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Lindsey Morgan, Karen Grassle and Andrew Jacobs.
Dragonfly Films has released the following synopsis for ‘Lasso’:
Simon (Jacobs) and Kit (Lindsey Morgan) are two young leaders of an Active Senior Tour group, which goes out on an adventure to a small-town rodeo festival, which is located deep in the woods. It’s a great experience for the group, until they try to leave. Simon and Kit must save themselves, and whichever seniors they can, from becoming victims of a deadly Rodeo Ritual. Along the way, they join up with another unexpected group of victims, including a one-armed cowboy, Ennis (Flannery), Rosheen (Heather Mignon), the Rodeo queen, and Trish (Skyler Cooper), a powerhouse female bull rider. Together the group must fight to survive the night from relentless bloodthirsty cowboys, who are on the hunt for human livestock.
“We wanted to create a unique and exciting, cinematic throwback to classic horror films, with brand new entertaining thrills, spills and kills to keep the audience screaming and cheering for more,” said Cecil.
“From the get go, ‘Lasso’ takes the viewer on an emotional and thrilling ride. We are excited to screen the final movie, a ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ meets ‘Cocoon’ style horror movie, with an exceptional eclectic ensemble cast, later this year.” said Myers.
