#AMFD: All My Friends Are Dead | Jade Pettyjohn and Marcus Dunstan on Gen Z Horror and Social Tropes

Jade Pettyjohn in #AMFD: All My Friends Are Dead

#AMFD: All My Friends Are Dead is a horror film that takes no prisoners. Quite literally.

As the title suggests, this horror film leaves practically no survivors, but it is a slasher-torture film that mocks the younger generation from its naïve social media, technology, partying, and friendships.

The film stars Jade Pettyjohn (Little Fires Everywhere, Destroyer), Jennifer Ens (Chapelwaite, Ransom Canyon), Ali Fumiko Whitney (Snow Valley, Cabin Girl), Michaella Russell (Echoes of Violence, It’s Not You, It’s Me), Julian Haig (Riverdale, Love in Bloom), Justin Derickson (Monster High: The Movie, Monster High 2), Cardi Wong (Golden Delicious, Supernatural Academy), Jack Doupe-Smith (Salad Days, Honey, I’m Home), and Jojo Siwa (The J Team, The Angry Birds Movie 2).

Marcus Dunstan directed the movie based on the screenplay by Josh Sims and Jessica Sarah Flaum.

Here is the official synopsis:

A group of college friends rent an Airbnb for the biggest music festival of the year. A weekend of partying quickly takes a turn, as the group is murdered one by one, according to their sin.
