Ashlee Simpson in horror film ‘Grinder’

Ashlee Simpson has been approached by producer Brian Conlon to act in his next film ‘Grinder’, a story about eight college students traveling through Western North Carolina when they encounter fates not imaginable even in their darkest nightmares.

Apart from Ashlee, the movie also has Lacey Chabert, Rider Strong, and Adam Hughes. Writer/Director Richard Clark, Jr. directs this film. He believes that this character driven film will benefit, with such talented actors on board. He says he is a big fan of Ashlee Simpson and Lacey Chabert.

‘Grinder’ centers on 8 college students road tripping to Miami that are run off the road by a mystery driver. Then they are forced to spend the night in a small town, which is occupied by only one family who oddly bare the town’s “Chapman” name as their own. To make matters worse, a foul stench continually emanates from a mysterious mill within the town. Soon the friends realize they are in danger, as the group begins to thin considerably with people disappearing one by one after they check into the town motel.
