A woman is convinced her baby was ripped from her womb and taken away by a sinister cult – but no one believes her bizarre story – in the gripping paranoid thriller The Dark Red, the latest film from the creator of the James Franco-starring horror mystery The Vault.
A young woman is committed to a psychiatric hospital after claiming that her newborn has been abducted by a secret society called the Dark Red – an ancient, underground cult that harvests and controls an incredibly rare blood type that gives one the power to hear and guide another person’s thoughts. The woman, Sybil, claims she is special, that she carries a pure and powerful strain of the blood like nothing seen before, and that the society sees her and her child as central to its next evolution – or perhaps its greatest threat, should she turn against them.
Is the Dark Red entirely a figment of Sybil’s imagination – a complex coping mechanism to overcome a terrible personal tragedy – or is there some truth behind her story? A shocker that will thrill fans of Unsane and The Uninvited, The Dark Red is a dark, disturbing and utterly suspenseful mind scrambler.
The film, from director Dan Bush (The Signal, The Vault), stars April Billingsley (Last Vegas, “The Walking Dead”), Kelsey Scott (“How to Get Away with Murder”) and Rhoda Griffis (Parental Guidance, The Blind Side).
