‘Cheat’ – Supernatural Entity Kills Anyone Who Cheats on Their Partner in New Horror Movie
What if there was a supernatural being whose sole purpose was to murder anyone who cheats on their partner? That’s the premise of Cheat, premiering at FrightFest this year.
Variety reports today that Black Mandala has acquired global rights ahead of FrightFest.
Written and directed by Kevin Ignatius and Nick Psinakis (“The Long Dark Trail”), Cheat centers on an urban legend that a supernatural being from the afterlife will violently murder anyone who cheats on their partner.
The film is set in a small Pennsylvania college town where the city’s unusually high suicide rate is finally convincing locals and college students alike that all is not as it seems. The story focuses on a college woman who sleeps with the married man of the host family she is staying with.
Variety notes, “Black Mandala handles sales of its own productions, as well as international sales of third party titles. It also acts as an official aggregator of platforms around the world, such as Amazon, Tubi, HOD, Frightfan IFlix, and Pantaflix.”
FrightFest 2023 runs from August 24-28 in London.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
