The Cast

 

Synopsis

What do you get when you combine a slasher flick and a musical comedy in some unholy experiment? Lend Me A Chainsaw—a bloody, bawdy, and wildly entertaining whirlwind where horror tropes meet showtunes, and everything goes deliciously off the rails.

Six friends set off on a road trip to a lake house the summer before their senior year, blissfully unaware it was the bloody site of a chainsaw murder spree last year.

Who is the killer? Who will survive? …Will you?
