Former WWE Star CM Punk, real name Phil Brooks, is starring in the new horror film Girl On The Third Floor, and it was announced today that the movie will have its official premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival.

Above is the first teaser trailer for the movie, and below is the official film synopsis:

At the heart of the film is Don Koch (CM Punk), a man who is failing as a husband. For years he has skated by on charm and charisma, until it nearly landed him in jail. He now views fixing up an old house as a chance to make up for past mistakes. Meanwhile, his wife, Liz Koch, is concerned about the renovation timeline as they have a baby on the way. With all this pressure it’s no wonder Don responds to the flirtations of an attractive stranger. As Don tears the house apart, it begins to tear him apart as well, revealing the rot behind the drywall.
