‘Stiletto’ – Eli Roth’s Horror Section Sets Slasher Film for Halloween Release Date!

Eli Roth fans are already anxiously awaiting the filmmaker’s bloody horror treat, Ice Cream Man, arriving later this year. But Deadline reports that’s not all coming from Roth soon, as his media company, The Horror Section, has set an October 30 release for the stripper slasher, Stiletto, just in time for Halloween!

In Stiletto, “on the one-year anniversary of the brutal murder of an exotic dancer, a serial killer with a specific kink is afoot, stalking and slaughtering his favorite performers to feed his perverse collection of pumps.”

Gigi Gustin stars in and produced the film alongside Roth. She also co-wrote the script with director Samuel Gonzalez Jr. (The Retaliators). The outlet notes Gustin is a former exotic dancer and financed the project through her work.

Charlotte McKinney (Fantasy Island), Colleen Camp (Clue), Meghan Carrasquillo (Lookout), Stephen Blackehart (Guardians of the Galaxy franchise), Hannah Hueston (The Anacondas), and Pancho Moller (3 From Hell) also star.

Said Roth, “Of all the horror sub-genres, there’s none more beloved than the slasher, and also the hardest to create something that feels original and genre-defining. Drawing from her own personal experience as an exotic dancer, Gigi Gustin and Samuel Gonzalez Jr. have turned real life horror into one of the most fun, original and exciting slasher films I have ever seen. Gigi’s performance, both in front of and behind the camera as the creator and producer, has announced one of the most exciting new talents in horror. Her performance is remarkable, and under the inspired direction of Samuel, an equally exciting new talent, they have created a new masked killer that harkens back to the classics and carves in new creative ways I have never seen before. Stiletto delivers the goods on every level, I cannot wait for audiences to discover this on the big screen in theaters this Halloween.”
