‘Sweetest Day’ Poster – Slash Into Your New Favorite Holiday [Exclusive]
Get ready to celebrate your new favorite holiday with Sweetest Day. We have an exclusive look at the poster, designed by Rafael Araújo, below.
Dorée Seay stars as ‘survival girl’ Mindy as she prepares for the battle of her life against the undead confederate soldier that nearly killed her once before.
The indie slasher is set on Sweetest Day, celebrated in the Midwest on the third Saturday in October with romantic deeds as well as acts of charity and kindness.
Genre favorites Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), Kelly Maroney (Chopping Mall), and Russell Todd (Friday the 13th Part 2) appear in the film.
Nate Boyer (“Mayans M.C.”), Morgana Shaw (“Salem”), Deborah S. Craig (“The Blacklist”), Chris Labadie (M.F.A.), Alex MacNicoll (“The Society”), and Andy Davoli (“The Sopranos”) round out the cast.
Doug Hawley makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Boyer, based on a story by Hawley and Seay.
“It was an honor to help shape Mindy’s character throughout every iteration of her story,” Seay, who starred in Hawley’s Sweetest Day proof-of-concept short prior to the feature, tells Bloody Disgusting.
“Doug and I explored some ideas in the short film version of Sweetest Day, but it wasn’t until we filmed the feature — with the full cast, crew, and story — that I truly understood who she was and what she meant to Doug. Seeing the poster now, I feel the fullness of her journey, and I can’t wait for the world to meet her!”
Currently in post-production, Sweetest Day recently wrapped filming in Los Angeles and Hawley’s hometown of Warren, Ohio.

The mind-bending psychological thriller will be released in select theaters and on demand on June 12 via Vertical.

In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
