Selma Blair‘s upcoming psychological horror Dead at 27 just got a filming update. The movie explores celebrity obsession and the music industry’s darker side, and it has finished production.
Dead at 27 highlights modern society’s fixation on fame, validation, and celebrity, with a reclusive music star at the center of its unsettling story. Directed by K. Asher Levin and aimed at Gen Z, the movie follows a pop icon who re-emerges in the spotlight with a captivating new sound that quickly captivates her fans. As she gains influence in underground music scenes and internet culture, her fans’ devotion to her begins to take increasingly disturbing turns.
Alongside Blair, the cast includes Sierra McCormick, Logan Miller and Dylan Playfair. Dead at 27 also features recording artists Iann Dior, Tommy Genesis and Kya Hansen, known professionally as Bludnymph.
