That little Zombieland cutie Abigail Breslin is growing up quickly. “How quickly?” you ask? Breslin turns seventeen next month! She’s also quite the horror fan.
Not only is she playing a more mature role than we’ve ever seen her in before in this Friday’s serial-killer/chase film The Call (opposite Halle Berry, with director Brad Anderson), but she’s got two more genre projects lined up – Haunter (read more about that here) and Final Girl. Breslin told me a little about each while promoting the call last week in LA.

Photographer Tyler Shields has opted to show you his feature directorial effort, Final Girl, in its entirety in 60-seconds. It's his version of a "trailer" and you can watch it inside.
Abigail Breslin and Wes Bentley star. The former plays Loner Veronica - a teen at a new school. She's shy and vulnerable - the perfect target for a group of teenage boys who lure girls into the woods to hunt and kill them for sport. It’s only after they get her alone that she turns the tables on them, escaping and revealing she’s armed and knows how to defend herself. Little do they know, Veronica is an assassin-in-training, and she’s chosen killing these boys as her final test. When the dust clears, Veronica will find out if she can be the final girl these boys ever have a chance to hurt.
