Writer/director Staci Layne Wilson’s short film Psycho Therapy has entered post-production. The psychological horror noir stars Brooke Lewis (iMurder) and Ricky Dean Logan (Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare).
When emotionally exhausted Tonia (Brooke Lewis) visits her esteemed psychiatrist, Dr. Walsh (Ricky Dean Logan), to discuss her husband’s infidelity, the therapy session takes an unexpected turn. Tonia does not respond well to her doctor’s advice and he finds himself locked in a game of psychological hide-n- seek with a painfully disturbed patient.
Wilson explains, “I am very proud of Psycho Therapy — it was a dream come true for me to have the creative freedom to make something that looks so beautiful on a subject that can be so ugly. I was going for an old-school, noir/De Palma vibe, and our DP, Stefan Colson, brought that to life in a most compelling way. So did the cast. I've worked with Brooke Lewis before, so I know what's she's capable of, but as the character Tonia, I saw a whole new dimension to her. And I think horror fans are going to be pleasantly surprised to see Ricky Dean Logan straying from his comfort zone: Dr. Walsh is unlike any character he's played before.”
Psycho Therapy will be hitting film festivals in 2017.
