After leading viewers through one of the most breathtaking opening sequences in 21st century horror in Final Destination Bloodlines, Brec Bassinger returns for another round of cinematic scares in Buzzkill as Kendell, the relentless leader of a sorority targeted by a masked killer at their costume party, where the only hope of survival and discovering the killer's true identity could lie within the increasingly drunk recollections of party-girl Nora (Siena Agudong).
An intoxicating concoction of Mean Girls and Happy Death Day, Buzzkill premieres September 25th on Tubi, and we caught up with Bassinger in a new video interview to discuss her latest intriguing role, including reading the clever script by Suzanne Keilly (2021's Slumber Party Massacre) for the first time, working with the talented director Jem Garrard (Takeout), intertwining humor with horror, the films she watched to prepare for the role of Kendell, the killer costumes from Buzzkill that she hopes to see worn by fans this Halloween season, and how Jem meeting Brec's mom led to a strong Southern accent being added to Kendell as a perfect fit for the character right before filming began!
Below, you can watch our full video interview with Brec Bassinger, and be sure to check out Buzzkill on Tubi now, along with more than 13,000 hours of horror content (which you can learn more about in our new Terror on Tubi monthly column)!

When a group of sorority sisters find themselves trapped with a vengeful killer, party-girl Nora (Siena Agudong) knows that the drunker she gets, the more her tipsy memories start revealing clues about who’s murdering her friends.
