Written by Qui Ngyuyen, "She Kills Monsters" is the story of Agnes, who leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly's "Dungeons & Dragons" notebook, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly's refuge. This high-octane, dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres and '90s pop culture offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
