After acquiring Head Count for North American distribution, Samuel Goldwyn Films revealed the official trailer for the horror film about a shape-shifting monster terrorizing a group of friends in Joshua Tree.

Directed by Elle Callahan from a screenplay by Callahan and Michael Nader, Head Count stars Ashleigh Morghan, Isaac Jay, and Sam Marra.

Head Count is slated for a theatrical and digital release on June 14th, and in case you missed it, read Patrick Bromley's interview with Callahan.

"Head Count premiered at the 2018 Los Angeles Film Festival, and Ashleigh Morghan was honored with the Nightfall Special Jury Prize for a Lead Actor.

Newcomer Evan joins a group of teens on a getaway in Joshua Tree. While exchanging ghost stories around the campfire, Evan reads aloud a mysterious chant from an internet site. From that moment, someone--or something--is among them. As unsettling, inexplicable events become more frequent, Evan realizes this summoned shape-shifting creature is targeting them to fulfill a deadly ritual."
