Beware of the Infected.
Director Rob Jabbaz (The Sadness) is ready to bring you more terrifying infected creatures. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news on the confirmed cast for the director’s next feature, Crossed. Devin Druid (13 Reasons Why) and Ash Santos (American Horror Story) will be the lead survivors. The duo will star as Stan and Cindy, the leaders of a group of strangers thrown together as they attempt to escape northward away from the inflicted known as the Crossed.
