It’s like one of those domestics-from-hell thrillers of the ’90s, only here it’s the helper who gets terrorized.
Vertical Entertainment releases THE TUTOR to theaters March 24. Directed by Jordan Ross and written by Ryan King, it stars Garrett Hedlund, Noah Schnapp, Victoria Justice and Jonny Weston. The synopsis: “An in-demand tutor for the East Coast monied elite, Ethan [Hedlund] lands a high-paying assignment to instruct a billionaire’s son, Jackson [Schnapp], at a remote New York waterfront estate. Almost immediately, Ethan realizes that his student’s interest in his life borders upon obsession. As tension grows, Jackson’s accusations threaten to expose Ethan’s perceived dark secrets to his girlfriend [Justice] and the authorities. As sentiment turns against Ethan, it is up to him, and only him, to unearth Jackson’s accusations and prove his innocence.”
