School’s out, and recent grad Dani (Alisha Newton) and her friends are ready for one last summer blowout. But when a senior’s mutilated body is discovered on the high school football field – killed in a disturbingly theatrical fashion – it’s clear that someone is playing by a new set of rules. A red envelope pinned to the corpse contains a yearbook photo and a chilling directive: “Kill or Be Killed”. As the bodies pile up, Dani and her friends are thrust into a terrifying game, orchestrated by a sick killer, that transcends their small town and soon goes viral.

One of the film's producers was quoted saying: "Kill or Be Killed captures the magic that made the golden era of slashers so iconic. It brings a fresh, pulse-pounding experience that resonates with today’s audiences while honoring the genre’s storied past. The viral nature of the killer’s game speaks to audiences worldwide, while the primal struggle for survival resonates in any language."
Directed by David Straiton (episodes of House, Fringe, Hemlock Grove, Grimm, Shooter, MacGyver, Magnum P.I., etc..), who was quoted saying: "The summer slasher is all about freedom and fear colliding – there’s nothing quite like it. It’s the perfect time to redefine the genre and challenge audiences with something both thrilling and unexpected."
