By now, you’ve likely heard about Elric Kane’s highly anticipated feature, The Dead Thing. We’ve been following this dark and neurotic tale since festival season last year, and we’re thrilled that Shudder fans will finally get to experience it next month.
What better way to spend Valentine’s Day than with a dark romantic horror thriller? The Dead Thing follows a young woman grappling with the unsettling reality of a lover who may not be of this world.
Starring Blu Hunt and Ben Smith-Petersen, The Dead Thing will be available to stream on Shudder starting February 14. Check out the trailer for a glimpse at the twists and turns, and let us know your thoughts!
Alex is trapped in a downward spiral of shallow hookups and tepid connections, but she is caught off guard when her dating app swipes lead her into the arms of a mysterious, charming young man Kyle. Despite their passionate night, when the sun rises, the mystery man is nowhere to be found. Alex then sets out to find the one person who made her feel alive. Through her investigation, she reconnects with Kyle, but also digs up a ghastly supernatural secret. The pair quickly descend into a whirlwind of obsession, dependence, lust, and infatuation that has grave consequences.
