Survival thrills meet medical terror in the film debuting this week.

Filmhub and Vortex Media bring PINS AND NEEDLES to TVOD nationwide tomorrow, June 24. Written and directed by James Villeneuve, it stars Chelsea Clark (SCARED SHITLESS), Ryan McDonald, Kate Corbett, Daniel Gravelle and Damian Romeo. The synopsis: “What should have been an uneventful ride back to campus unexpectedly becomes a nightmare as Max [Clark], a diabetic biology grad student, is entrapped in a diabolical new-age wellness experiment. With her insulin supply dwindling, Max is forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse where she must escape at all costs or risk becoming the next test subject to extend the lives of the rich and privileged.”
