With the erotic thriller now streaming on Shudder just in time for Valentine’s Day, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with director/co-writer Elric Kane and stars Blu Hunt and Ben Smith-Petersen to discuss their new film, including exploring the movie’s themes of dissatisfaction, the importance of spending time with their layered characters, and taking a unique approach to romance gone wrong.
Synopsis: Alex is trapped in a downward spiral of shallow hookups and tepid connections, but she is caught off guard when her dating app swipes lead her into the arms of a mysterious, charming young man Kyle. Despite their passionate night, when the sun rises, the mystery man is nowhere to be found. Alex then sets out to find the one person who made her feel alive. Through her investigation, she reconnects with Kyle, but also digs up a ghastly supernatural secret. The pair quickly descend into a whirlwind of obsession, dependence, lust, and infatuation that has grave consequences.
