Szohr to Headline Horror Film

Former Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr has signed up to headline a new sexhorror film.

Szohr, who played Vanessa Abrams in the hit U.S. teen drama, announced her departure from the show earlier this year (11), and now she's set to drastically change direction and thrill viewers in The Love Bite, directed by Andy de Emmony.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will follow four friends who find their dead-end town under siege from a werewolf on the hunt for virgins.

Teens decide to have sex in order to boost their chances of survival.

Szohr will begin shooting the movie in Scotland in October (11).
