Ron Perlman et al. confront the “SUCCUBUS”; trailer, poster and release news

The September release gives you one more reason to avoid dating apps.

Shout! Studios releases SUCCUBUS on digital platforms (Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Microsoft, Fandango At Home, Bell Media and others) for purchase and rental as well as DVD September 24. Written and directed by R.J. Daniel Hanna, it stars Brendan Bradley, Rachel Cook, Olivia Applegate, Derek Smith, Emily Kincaid, Rosanna Arquette and Ron Perlman. The synopsis: “SUCCUBUS follows a young father going through a marital separation who joins a dating app, and matches with a beautiful but mysterious young woman…whose powers of seduction and manipulation entangle him in a mystery more horrifying than he could have ever imagined. Coached by his oversexed friend Eddie [Smith], Chris [Bradley], a new father, joins the StarCrossed dating app ‘just to see what’s out there,’ and eventually comes to the conclusion he should probably rekindle things with his estranged wife. But when he matches with Adra [Cook], a seductive young woman with a mysterious past, his curiosity gets the better of him, and he finds himself getting sucked into her world even as his own life falls apart. As Chris, Eddie and Adra’s stalker, Dr. Zephyr [Perlman], circle her, Adra’s power grows, finally revealing her harrowing true nature.”
