An effort is underway to stop the release of a horror film that closely resembles the 2014 killing of six people in a California college town.
The trailer for "Del Playa" debuted on Wednesday, and shows a young man taking violent revenge after getting rejected by women and taunted by bullies.
Del Playa happens to also be the name of a street in Isla Vista, California, near the campus of University of California-Santa Barbara. Last year, Elliot Rodger fatally stabbed and shot six students and injured 14 during a spree across Isla Vista before dying by suicide. He'd written a so-called manifesto that expressed resentment toward women for spurning him.
The strikingly similar movie plot was denounced in a petition on Change.org started by a former Santa Barbara college student.
"The film 'Del Playa' intentionally seeks to commoditize the death of six beloved students, and makes light of the tragedy faced by the entire Isla Vista/UCSB community," said the petition posted by Kate Nollner. “'Del Playa' not only justifies the motives behind the Isla Vista gunman, but also glorifies his actions."
