She has already made the tricky transition from the studio to the small screen, but Tulisa Contostavlos is now preparing to become a movie star.

The 23-year-old X Factor judge stars in upcoming Brit horror Demons Never Die, and the release of the film's trailer this week has whet the appetite of horror fans across the country.

It demonstrates that the singer and talent show panel member has yet another skill under her belt, and she is ready to take the acting world by storm.

The trailer starts to tell the scary story, which begins with a suicide and then centres around a group of friends who follow suit and form a suicide pact.

But as the friends die one by one, it quickly becomes clear that murder may be behind each of the deaths.

The trailer shows Tulisa, who plays Amber, weeping in fear and other cast members looking terrified as the friends attempt to solve the mystery of who is responsible for the killings, gradually turning on one another or growing closer to protect each other.

The teaser also cuts to a couple of racy clips which demonstrate that suicide won't be the only thing on the minds of the fictional teenagers when the film hits cinemas on October 28, just in time for Halloween.

Previously titled Suicide Kids, the movie has a stellar cast of young British actors including Misfits star Robert Sheehan, 23, Hollyoaks' Emma Rigby, 21, and Hustle actor Ashley Walters, 29.

And the list of bright young things that make up the movie extends from the cast to the production team. 24-year-old Jason Maza, who produced the film, also stars as villain Kenny.

Talking about her role in the Arjun Rose movie, Tulisa told MailOnline: 'She's very up and down, very on the edge - anything can make her tip. She's vulnerable and cute and warm, but at the same time she has a bit of a psychotic edge to her."

And asked if the N-Dubz singer had to do much preparation for the role, she joked: 'No, that was pretty much me when I was 15-years-old... probably me just a week ago.'

The venture will pave the way for Tulisa to become a fully-fledged actress, after an early foray with the Channel 4 TV series Dubplate Drama.

She also plays girlband member Shanikwa in upcoming comedy Big Fat Gypsy Gangster, a movie described as ‘Snatch meets This Is Spinal Tap.’

Girl of many talents: Tulisa is making her mark on X Factor and in the acting world

After cementing her place in the movie world, Tulisa seems set on staying there, and says her dream role would be a lot more hands-on.
She said: 'I've always wanted to do a real kicking butt role. A bit of a Lara Croft, Tomb Raider... I love the Resident Evil character.
'Being able to learn a fighting skill and having to do training... just beating people up and I've got guns in holsters on my thighs which I pull out.'
