We’re past the days of monstrous men in masks hacking up unsuspecting victims. Nowadays it’s all about seeing the girl next door unleash her violent side. Taking a cue from this weekend’s new release Jennifer’s Body, Breaking the Girl will focus on a college student killing off her enemies.

Myriad Pictures has reigned in A Haunting in Connecticut’s Amanda Crew and Friday Night Lights’ Adrianne Palicki to star in the thriller. According to Variety, the film is about a student who loses a scholarship at the hands of a fellow classmate, which leads her to make a pack with a friend to kill off each other’s enemies.

Director Jamie Babbit will begin production in the spring in Canada. The majority of Babbit’s credits include one-episode stints for shows like 90210, Castle and Eli Stone, so it’ll be interesting to see if she can handle a feature length film. The story and cast have potential so the odds are in her favor.
