Random Acts of Violence – Watch the trailer for the new Jay Baruchel directed slasher horror movie

Comic book creator Todd Walkley (Jesse Williams), his wife Kathy (Jordana Brewster), assistant Aurora (Niamh Wilson) and best friend, Hard Calibre Comics owner Ezra (Jay Baruchel), embark upon a road trip from Toronto to NYC Comic-Con and bad things start to happen—people start getting killed. It soon becomes clear that a crazed fan is using Todd’s “Slasherman” comic as inspiration for the killings and as the bodies pile up, and Todd’s friends and family become victims themselves, Todd will be forced to take artistic responsibility.

The film is based on the 2010 comic of the same name by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. It is produced and directed by Jay Baruchel, who wrote the screenplay with Jesse Chabot.
