The Girl in the Photographs is a 2015 American horror thriller film co-written and directed by Nick Simon and executive produced by Wes Craven.

The film stars Kal Penn, Claudia Lee, Kenny Wormald, Miranda Rae Mayo, Luke Baines, Christy Carlson Romano, Katharine Isabelle, and Mitch Pileggi.

[2] The film opens with two young women, Britney and Janet, exiting a movie theater and heading in opposite directions.

Janet heads to her car in a dark parking lot where one other truck, a blood-red Bronco, sits.

Arriving early in the morning for work she sees a photograph stapled to the bulletin board at the front of the store.

Assuming that the person taking the photographs is trying to create the "Dead Model" look, he decides to travel to Spearfish.

When they arrive they meet Colleen at the local grocery store, where she works, and invite her to the house they're renting for a party.

When Tom checks Ben's phone, he sees the message and tells him his body will fit into two bags.

Using the flash lens from the camera as a light, he walks around the house, but Gerry approaches from behind and stabs him in the head.

Chris, Peter, Rose, Ben, Victoria and Trip are all posed, while Colleen is sitting in the middle with her hair tied up.

[8] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 35 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "Generally unfavorable reviews".

[9] Joe Leydon of Variety gave the film a negative review, writing: "Trouble is, this initially promising premise quickly devolves into an excuse for standard-issue bloodletting, and the film emerges as something best left to undiscriminating VOD streamers and niche festival attendees.

"[10] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and said "[with] the hilarious Kal Penn as an unbearable L.A. hipster you’re just hoping will meet his end, this offbeat indie chiller benefits from colorful cinematography and bits of satisfying butchery, even if a less than airtight scenario fails to make it run efficiently.

Following a premiere in Toronto's Midnight Madness section, a small domestic release and VOD playdates could be in store – especially with the endorsement of the late Wes Craven, credited here as executive producer.
