[Trailer] ‘The Ruins’ Director Carter Smith Returns With New Year’s Eve Film ‘Into the Dark: Midnight Kiss’

Carter Smith, the director of 2008 horror film The Ruins, makes his return to the genre this month with the New Year’s-themed Midnight Kiss, part of Hulu’s “Into the Dark” anthology.

In the film, “A group of longtime gay best friends and their resident fruit fly head to a beautiful desert home to celebrate New Year’s Eve. One of their annual traditions is to play “Midnight Kiss”, a sexy but ultimately dangerous challenge to find that special someone to help you ring in the New Year.”

“As friendships have grown strained with secrets, jealousy and resentment, the group faces another challenge when a sadistic killer wants in. Relationships are put to the test and truths are revealed as the night turns into a fight for survival.”

Augustus Prew (The Morning Show), Scott Evans (Grace and Frankie), Ayden Mayeri (Veep), Lukas Gage (Euphoria), Chester Lockhart (Glamorous), and Adam Faison (Everything’s Gonna Be OK) star in Midnight Kiss, premiering December 27th on Hulu.
