Filming on a new South African horror film is underway and it stars some familiar faces.

'Night Drive' is about a group of tourists hunted by poachers.

Chris Beasley, who plays Len on 'Isidingo', plays the lead as Sean Darwin.

His former soapie co-star Brandon Auret and 'Egoli's' Corine du Toit star alongside him.

Chris said it was great to get under the skin of a darker kind of character.

"Len is more a kind of wild-child, he's light, he's airy and he hasn't got a care in the world. Sean is different. Sean is troubled. I'd almost say he's damaged. He's had an experience that's almost left him with post traumatic stress."
