The world of the new film Run Sweetheart Run isn’t very different from our own. Women are seen as lesser than men. Catcalls are constantly screamed out of windows. Condescending pet names are used to show us our place. But here, director Shana Feste pushes this already monstrous existence even further.

Read the full synopsis:

Initially apprehensive when her boss insists she meets with one of his most important clients, single mom Cherie (Ella Balinska) is relieved and excited when she meets charismatic Ethan (Pilou Asbæk). The influential businessman defies expectations and sweeps Cherie off her feet. But at the end of the night, when the two are alone together, he reveals his true, violent nature. Battered and terrified, she flees for her life, beginning a relentless game of cat and mouse with a blood-thirsty assailant hell-bent on her utter destruction. In this edge-of-your-seat dark thriller, Cherie finds herself in the crosshairs of a conspiracy stranger and more evil than she could have ever imagined.

Dread Central spoke with Feste and producer Effie T. Brown about reclaiming menstruation, the dangers of existing as a woman, and more.
