A Woman Struggles To Regain Her Power In The New ‘Swallow’ Trailer

From writer-director Carlo Mirabella-Davis comes the twisted film Swallow, which depicts a woman with a dangerous mental illness, desperate to regain control of her life. On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects. A provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller, Swallow follows one woman’s unraveling as she struggles to reclaim independence in the face of an oppressive system by whatever means possible. Austin Stowell, Elizabeth Marvel, David Rasche, and Denis O’Hare also star in Swallow

Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Red 11’ Getting A Summer Release

Last year we reported that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez was returning to his roots and making a movie with the budget of just $7000, the same budget he had for his breakout film El Mariachi. The film, titled Red 11, was inspired by the medical experiments Rodriguez went through himself to raise the money for El Mariachi thirty years ago. The film is set “in the dark, twisted world of legal drug research. College kids turn lab rats to make quick money. The pic’s protagonist Rob (who is assigned the color and number Red 11), is trying to buy his way out of a huge debt to the tune of $7K. But things get surreal when he’s not sure if the hospital is really trying to kill him, or if it’s the side effects from the experimental drugs.” Rodriguez wrote the script with his son Racer, based on the original script Robert wrote in the ’90s.
