There are moments in life that feel like a wild fever dream in the best way possible and today that’s precisely how we feel as we’ve been handed the true honor of dropping the exclusive first look atJenni “JWoww” Farley’s directorial debut,Devon. If you thought things couldn’t get more crazy and wild than a summer trip down the shore, think again as theJersey Shorestar seriously turns up the heat in the horror feature. Leaning into the found-footage subgenre, the teaser promises plenty of chills, thrills, and jump scares when the film arrives on digital and demand on November 12.
A news anchor is delivering the scoop during the opening moments ofDevon’s debut trailer, informing viewers that a group of adults have gone missing after their collective intrigue led them to answer a mysterious website’s call to action. The site in question was centered around one family’s struggle and determination to find their child who went missing from a local asylum. At this point in the trailer, the movie’sfound-footageaspect comes into play, with a tape revealing achilling cry for helpfrom one of the missing persons. With a barrage of screams echoing through the darkness, the madness of the first look plays out, foreshadowing the forlorn expedition to find the missing girl.
Along with directingDevon, Farley also penned the project and served as its executive producer. In between ongoing seasons ofJersey Shore: Family Vacationand one-off appearances on productions likeThe Tiny Chef Show, we don’t know where Farley had the time to write and direct a feature-length production, but we’re thrilled that she found it. While we’ve always known theSeaside Heights roommateto have a love for Disney, her dip into horror seems like it was meant to be.
