A woman’s dangerous inclinations, a sadistic child killer, and a panic surrounding an online murder challenge reveal the insidious violence of a small New England town in Sweet Relief.
The Barrens Hideout Podcast is hosting an advance screening of the indie horror film at Cinema Salem in Salem, MA on Thursday, June 8. After the movie, writer-director Nick Verdi will participate in a live podcast interview.
Bloody Disgusting is giving away five pairs of tickets to the event.
To enter, simply email alexjdivincenzo@gmail.com with SWEET RELIEF in the subject line. Five winners will be randomly drawn in two weeks.
The feature presentation will be preceded by Reverberance, an ASMR-style horror short co-directed by yours truly and TJ Frizzi.
Sweet Relief is the sophomore feature from Verdi, whose previous film Cockazoid premiered at Salem Horror Fest. Alisa Leigh, BR Yeager, Adam Michael Kozak, Lucie Rosenfeld, Jocelyn Lopez, Catie DuPont, and Paul Lazar star.
“Parents and teachers are in a panic over kids playing Sweet Relief, an online murder challenge in which the player must nominate someone they’d like to see die. Three teenagers play the game as a joke, unaware of the dire consequences awaiting them. Meanwhile, Jess has mysterious and dangerous inclinations of her own, finding her way into a deadly situation when she meets Gerald, a confidential police informant and sadistic child killer.”
Tickets for the event are available now for $10, which includes a free, exclusive poster.
