The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival will host the World Premiere of The Only One this October. It will spotlight the deadly, stylized homage to the early-2000s slasher craze.
Directed by Michael Schwarz, the Australian indie feature brings a distinct Down Under perspective to classic genre tropes. Written by Martyn Pedler and Marek Polgar, the film aims to fuse claustrophobic suspense with sharp, irreverent humor while capturing self-aware terror.
A High-Stakes Homecoming Turn Deadly
The premiere introduces audiences to Zoe, played by rising star Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter). Ten years after moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, Zoe returns home empty-handed. However, things quickly go from bad to worse as her exes begin to drop dead one by one. As suspicion mounts, Zoe must team up with a group of old friends to clear her name. But that’s easier said than done.
A Stellar Cast Headlining an Indie Cult Contender
Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Saphira Moran (Beast), Aaron Glenane, and Ben O’Toole alongside Jarnson, The Only One blends chaos, dark wit, and brutal suspense. Positioned as a standout world premiere on the October festival circuit, this sexy, blood-soaked romp is poised to captivate horror audiences. It makes its World Premiere at the Brooklyn Film Festival on October 18. So, get your tickets now.
