Nina Dobrev (“Vampire Diaries”) is set join Malin Akerman (Watchmen) and Taissa Farmiga (“American Horror Story”) in Groundswell Productions’ The Final Girls. Set in Louisiana, the horror-comedy is directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) and distributed by Sony Pictures.

The Final Girls centers on the daughter (Farmiga) of a recently deceased 80’s scream queen (Akerman) who gets trapped in her mom’s most famous film and must help her fight its killer. Dobrev plays the daughter’s ex-best friend.

In addition to her ongoing role on The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries,” Dobrev has starred in a string of notable frighteners, including the horror-musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, the lesbian-thriller Chloe, sword-and-sandal actioner Arena, and the psycho-bitch thriller The Roommate.

Indigenous: Chupacabra tells the story of five American friends in Panama who foolishly follow a local woman into the jungle to find waterfalls. What they discover instead is one of folklore’s most feared cryptids: the Chupacabra. It premieres at the Midnight section of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
