Words can be dangerous when life starts fatally imitating art.

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU DIE will have its world premiere Saturday, January 17 at 9:15 p.m. at Manhattan’s Regal Union Square as part of the Dances With Films NYC festival. Directed by Alexandra Spieth and written by Mike Corey, it stars Rushabh Patel, Bobby Liga (the two also produced), Stephanie Gomes Hogan, Rawya El Chab and Zachary Leipert. The synopsis:Rian Burman [Patel], a struggling horror novelist seeking inspiration, checks into a remote motel to finish his book. Haunted by heartbreak and creative paralysis, Rian begins writing a story about a woman named Katie, a drug counselor fleeing a violent stalker. But as he writes, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur, his scenes start coming true.At the same motel, the real Katie [Hogan] is hiding from a deranged ex–mailman turned serial killer. When Rian and Katie meet, their shared experiences confirm the impossible: his manuscript is somehow manifesting real events, including the stalker’s murders. As the deaths around them escalate, Rian realizes he might be both the author and the architect of the horror unfolding.”
