Brec Bassinger says the comedy and campy take on horror tropes drew her to play Kendall in Tubi’s college slasher comedy Buzzkill, which premieres September 25. In the film, Kendall is trapped in her sorority house with a vengeful killer.
Kendall’s friend Nora, played by Siena Agudong, realizes she can figure out the killer’s identity only by getting drunk so her tipsy memories can return.
Bassinger said the film’s comedy clicked for her at the table read. Kendall’s big hair and Southern accent also drew on Bassinger’s Texas roots; she said a conversation with the director prompted her to tap into an accent she had spent much of her life trying to lose.
