The holiday season turns sinister as Eli Craig finalizes the cast for his horror thriller White Elephant, backed by MRC, Radio Silence, and Project X.

After getting the Jumanji star Nick Jonas and the Supernatural alum Kathryn Newton onboard, the cast lineup now includes KJ Apa (Riverdale), Madeleine Arthur (Devil in Ohio), Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), Ashley Park (Emily in Paris), Alexandra Shipp (Anyone but You, Forbidden Fruits), and Justice Smith (Now You See Me: Now You Don't), as per Deadline.

The logline reads, "Eight friends. One prize. Zero trust. Their annual festive holiday gift exchange spirals into a cutthroat game of Christmas carnage."

Nick Jonas premiered Power Ballad at SXSW last month, with the musical dramedy, also starring Paul Rudd, drawing widespread acclaim from critics.

Helmed director John Carney, the film arrives in theaters June 5 via Lionsgate.
