Canadian actress Allie MacDonald is set to star opposite Stephen Moyer and Mia Kirshner in director Darren Lynn Bousman’s (Saw 2, 3, 4) upcoming Jersey Devil project The Barrens. The pretty 23-year-old Canuck will play Sadie Vinyard, daughter to Moyer and Kirshner’s characters Richard and Cynthia Vinyard.
The Barrens follows the Vinyard family as they set out to camp in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, home to the legendary cryptid known as the Jersey Devil. When Richard falls terribly ill, he begins to believe that they are being stalked by the creature.
The film, written by Bousman, costars Erik Knudsen (Scream 4), J. Larose (Saw 3), kid actor Peter DaCunha and Max Topplin (Dead Before Dawn 3-D). Anchor Bay Entertainment will release The Barrens next fall.
MacDonald doesn’t have a lot of creds under her acting belt, but she’ll soon be seen starring alongside Oscar nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games) and Elisabeth Shue (Piranha 3-D) in director Mark Tonderai’s (Hush) new thriller House at the End of the Street.
