*Updated with the official press release.* "It's just a fender bender, right?" Scream Factory announced a June 3rd premiere date for Fender Bender, their first original horror film that's written and directed by Mark Pavia (The Night Flier). Ahead of its debut on the Chiller network, a new teaser trailer and poster offers a look at the movie that might make you think twice about exchanging information after a car accident.

Press Release: New York, NY – April 29, 2016 – Chiller and Scream Factory™ announced today that original movie FENDER BENDER will premiere Friday, June 3 at 9 PM ET. Written and Directed by Mark Pavia (Stephen King’s The Night Flier), the movie stars Makenzie Vega (The Good Wife), Dre Davis (Pretty Little Liars, Scavenger Killers), Cassidy Freeman (Smallville, Longmire) and Bill Sage (American Psycho, We Are What We Are). Evocative of the horror-thriller classics of yesteryear, FENDER BENDER brings you back to a time when the boxes on the shelf at your local video store beckoned you with masked, knife-wielding maniacs and a twisted sense of morals.

In a small New Mexico town, a 17-year-old high school girl who just got her driver's license gets into her first fender bender, innocently exchanging her personal information with an apologetic stranger. Later that stormy night, she is joined in her desolate suburban home by a couple of her school friends who try their best to make a night out of it, only to be visited by the stranger she so willingly handed all of her information to -- a terrifying and bizarre serial killer who stalks the country's endless miles of roads and streets with his old rusty car, hungrily searching for his next unsuspecting victim.

Shout! Factory and Brainstorm Media present an EchoWolf Production. A Mark Pavia Film.

FENDER BENDER stars Makenzie Vega, Dre Davis, Cassidy Freeman, Kelsey Leos Montoya, Harrison Sim and Bill Sage as The Driver. Casting by Sig De Miguel and Stephen Vincent; director of photography, Tyler Lee Cushing; edited by Lana Wolverton; music by Night Runner.
