Ava Preston is on her way being a scream queen or rather scream princess in Queen of Spades.

The young actress plays the lead character in the movie as a teen who is haunted by a malevolent spirit hellbent on consuming the souls.

Here’s the official synopsis:

According to legend, an ominous entity known as the Queen of Spades can be summoned by performing an ancient ritual. Those brave enough draw a door and a staircase on a mirror, in darkness, and say her name three times. What happens next must be experienced to be believed. Four teenagers decide to summon the Queen of Spades as a joke. But they could never imagine the horrors this innocent prank has condemned and their loved ones to. The evil entity won’t stop until she gets their souls.

The film also stars Daniel Kash, Kaelen Ohm, Eric Osborne, Jamie Bloch, Nabil Rajo, and Krista Marchand. Patrick White directed the movie.
