In suburban Downers Grove, Illinois, people call it ‘The Curse’: Before the end of every school year, one high school senior will die in a gruesome accident. And with only one week left, Chrissie Swanson can’t shake the fear that she might be next. Can Chrissie survive the curse of Downers Grove or will she, like those seniors before her, fall prey to the town’s deadly secret?
Inspired by true events and based on the novel by Michael Hornburg, THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE is directed by Derick Martini (Lymelife) and co-written by Martini and author Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction, Less Than Zero) and produced by Oren Segal, Chiara Trento and Jason Dubin.
