Scare Me may not be the scariest film of the year. But, it’s certainly one of the most laughable films this year.

The film stars Josh Ruben and Aya Cash as two authors in a cabin telling their most creative scary stories. Also, Chris Redd appears in the film as a pizza delivery man, who crashes their storytelling.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Fred (Josh Ruben), a frustrated copywriter, checks into a winter cabin to start his first novel. While jogging in the nearby woods, he meets Fanny (Aya Cash), a successful and smug young horror author who fuels his insecurities. During a power outage, Fanny challenges Fred to tell a scary story. As a storm sets in, they pass the time spinning spooky tales fueled by the tensions between them, and Fred is forced to confront his ultimate fear: Fanny is the better storyteller. The stakes are raised when they’re visited by a horror fan (Chris Redd) who delivers levity (and a pizza) to the proceedings.

Ruben makes his directorial feature film debut on this metafictional horror-comedy about the pleasures and perils of storytelling and the game’s power to exercise social demons.
