The Sundance Film Festival kicked off with Shana Feste‘s “social horror” film Run Sweetheart Run, which our very own Meagan Navarro called “an entertaining battle soaked in blood.”
Described as Get Out meets Rosemary’s Baby, the terror begins when a blind date turns violent and the woman (Ella Balinska) has to get home through Los Angeles, with her date (Pilou Asbaek) in pursuit.
Bloody Disgusting learned today that Blumhouse Tilt will be releasing the film in theaters on May 8, 2020, which means we should be getting a trailer very soon.
Feste previously told EW that, in her early 20s, she went on a date with a man “who looked incredible on paper,” she recalls, but “it went bad very quickly, and I think at, like, one in the morning, I ended up running out of his house in the Hollywood Hills.” With no shoes, no phone, and no purse, Feste ran all the way home to West L.A. in her little black dress.
“That night was terrifying and illuminating,” she says. “People that I didn’t think were going to help me did help me, and the people I thought were going to help me didn’t really help me so much as they could have. It was almost — what happened on foot, going back to my house — worse than what happened on the date.”
