Dark Sky Films is proud to announce the release of Laced a modern thriller/drama in the vein of Hitchcockian classics like Dial M for Murder and Rear Window, out now on VOD & Digital Platforms including Amazon Prime Video. Set in a single location, the piece explores the claustrophobic nature of young love strung with toxicity and lies, and the cyclical nature of violence.
Official Film Synopsis:
In a remote cabin on the evening of a record-breaking blizzard, a young woman plots to poison her abusive husband in order to end their toxic relationship once and for all. When the poison fails to kill him, she not only has to quickly concoct a backup plan, but also contend with her husband’s increasing suspicion that his intensifying illness isn’t wholly accidental. And with the unexpected arrival of her brother, her carefully crafted scheme threatens to spiral ever further out of control.

"I can't be a part of this!" "You already are." Dark Star Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an indie revenge horror thriller called Abigail, not to be confused with the other horror revenge thriller Becky and its sequel this year The Wrath of Becky.
