The sexy bloodsucker opus comes billed as “Fifty shades of red.”
Epic Pictures’ Dread label will release SWAP for VOD rental or purchase November 19. Dallas King’s film stars Jessica Leila Greene, James Eastwood, Erin Anne Gray and King himself. The synopsis: “A young couple is lured into the clutches of a bloodthirsty 500-year-old vampire; the exotic stranger tries to persuade them to swap partners and join his kind.”
Says King, “Dread in bed with SWAP is a perfect combo that’s ripe for those who love a tantalizing vampire story whose origins come from what happens with bored couples behind closed doors. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, SWAP brings a new take on the origin story of vampires. Leave the wooden stakes at home, and instead, come up with a safe word for this fanged ride of debauchery.”
Adds Epic/Dread VP of U.S. distribution and ceative Yulissa Morales, “We’re thrilled to bring Dread fans something like SWAP. This isn’t your typical bloodsucker story; it’s bold, provocative, and unforgettable. We hope audiences are ready to experience something daringly different in horror.”
