Quiver Distribution has released the chilling trailer and poster for The Girl Who Got Away, an upcoming horror movie about the only surviving victim of a dangerous serial killer. Once the serial killer gets away from prison, her surviving victim needs to relive the horror of being kidnapped while fighting to stay alive. The Girl Who Got Away will premiere in theaters and VOD/Digital on August 20.

The premise of a killer coming back 20 years later to finish her job is already chilling, but The Girl Who Got Away also teases a spooky mystery. When the killer Elizabeth Caulfield (Kaye Tuckerman) is once again on the loose, survivor Christina Bowden (Lexi Johnson) needs to relive her kidnapping, which apparently included a period in which she was forced to live with other four girls and her disturbed captor. Not all is what it seems, though, as Christina calls Elizabeth “mother” in the trailer, a clear indication that the survivor’s past hides some secrets.
