Romance turns into a harrowing nightmare for a single mom, Cherie (Ella Balinska, “Resident Evil”), when she finds herself hunted by her date.
See how that unfolds when Shana Feste‘s Run Sweetheart Run makes its long-awaited debut on Amazon Prime Video on October 28 after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival back in 2020.
While you wait, Prime Video has shared with Bloody Disgusting an exclusive clip that sees the charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk) disarm Cherie’s inner alarm bells that signal something’s amiss.
Ignoring the red flags could be deadly. What begins as a romantic evening transforms into a fight for survival, and the tense clip below instills a sense of foreboding as Cherie fights her instincts to follow Ethan inside. Ethan confirms to the audience that he’s bad news when he breaks the fourth wall; something is deeply amiss here.
In the film, “Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meet with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan. The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life, beginning a relentless game of cat-and-mouse with a bloodthirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction. In this edge-of-your-seat dark thriller, Cherie finds herself in the crosshairs of a conspiracy stranger and more evil than she could have ever imagined.”
Of course, the cat-and-mouse game between Cherie and Ethan quickly reveals there’s a lot more to her pursuer than meets the eye.
Out of our review from Sundance, I called this survive-the-night horror-thriller “an entertaining battle soaked in blood.”
The cast for Blumhouse’s dark thriller Run Sweetheart Run also includes Shohreh Aghdashloo, Clark Gregg, Aml Ameen, Dayo Okeniyi, and Betsy Brandt.
Feste wrote the script with Keith Josef Adkins and Kellee Terrell.
Prime Video premieres Run Sweetheart Run on October 28.
