The Orchard, who released our Southbound anthology, will release director Pat Healy’s (The Innkeepers, Small Crimes) feature debut Take Me, starring Taylor Schilling opposite Healy, Bloody Disgusting learned earlier this year.
In ‘Take Me’, Ray is in the boutique simulated abduction business. An understandably threadbare market, he jumps at the chance when a mysterious call contracts him for a weekend kidnapping with a handsome payday at the end. But the job isn’t all that it seems. A black comedy that threads the needle between crime thriller and slapstick farce, Take Me is as twisty as it is funny.

The Duplass Brothers (Creep, Baghead) serve as executive producers while Mel Eslyn and Sev Ohanian serve as producers of the film, which will have its world premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, followed by a theatrical and digital release May 5th, 2017. Netflix will be releasing the film on its worldwide streaming platform later this year, we’re told.
The filmmaking team of Take Me recently set up a website promoting the faux-company “Kidnap Solutions LLC” www.kidnapsolutions.com, which claims to be a fully immersive exposure therapy that has been known to cure alcoholism, drug addiction, overeating, nicotine addiction, sex/love addiction and bad habits.
Here’s the official trailer ahead of the premiere.
