Coming next month from Blumhouse and EPIX: 'Torn Hearts' Starring Katey Sagal!

A horror film set in the world of country music is a relatively new concept. Thanks to director Brea Grant (12 Hour Shift) and writer Rachel Koller Croft, Blumhouse can now mark that bingo space in its repertoire. TORN HEARTS is a thriller about two friends trying to make it in Nashville when they encounter a faded country music singer played by the great Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy, Married with Children, a million other things), who has more in store for them than inspiration.

Sagal isn’t known for doing horror, but she has a hell of a singing voice, having once sung backup for Bette Midler. Combined with rising horror director Grant, TORN HEARTS should have plenty of scares and songs.  Maybe even some actual torn-out hearts.

Synopsis: Blumhouse Television and EPIX present the cautionary tale of a rise to stardom set in the iconic Nashville Country Music scene. Two friends, rising artists on the brink of a big break, will do just about anything to realize their dream – including a pilgrimage to the legendary and reclusive Harper Dutch's (Katey Sagal) mansion in the hopes she’ll record a song with them. While their life-long idol seems intent to help, the visit devolves into a twisted series of mental and physical torment as the pair discover Harper - and each other - may have other motives. With no other choice and desperate to record a song, the duo must go to dangerous lengths to prove their dedication to their dream of becoming Nashville's next country music stars.

 The film also features Abby Quinn (Landline), Alexxis Lemire (The Half of It), Shiloh Fernandez (2013’s Evil Dead), and Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project).  Watch the new trailer below:

TORN HEARTS  will be available for digital purchase on May 20 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
