Exclusive trailer and photos: Charles Band takes you to the “DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY” via vertical media

It’s a new approach to a genre that depends on people getting horizontal.

DUNGEONS OF ECSTASY marks the debut collaboration between Charles Band’s Full Moon and Reelshort, the biggest distributor of vertical media. It premieres on the Reelshort platform today, and will then become available later in a longer version with sexier footage on Full Moon’s channels. Also the first vertical filmed in Italy, it features Reelshort stars Nicole Mattox and Eric Guilmette along with Felix Merback. The synopsis: “After a near-fatal car crash shatters her body and breaks her spirit, journalist Emily [Mattox] escapes to a remote rural region of Italy, only to find herself ensnared in the mysterious and forbidden ‘Dungeons of Ecstasy.’ Here, in the darkest chambers of the dungeon, Emily’s captor–who uncannily resembles her long lost ex-husband–forces her through a series of dangerous, sensual trials that awaken taboo memories and a love she’s never known.”
