Into The Dark -- "New Year, New You" - In the era of Òself-careÓ mania, a group of millennial friends gather for a girlsÕ night reunion on New YearÕs Eve to reconnect and reminiscence. But as they begin to rehash old memories and revisit an old party game of ÒNever, Have I Ever,Ó gripes and secrets theyÕve been harboring manifest in nefarious and surprising ways.

Melissa Bergland (“Into the Dark”) is set to face a serial killer in the Hollywood-set indie horror film, Sweetie, reports Deadline.

The film “follows a young woman named Sweetie (Bergland) on a disorienting descent into the heart of Hollywood’s dark promise, driven by a yearning for fame and meaning. But the city, which is on edge with a serial killer on the loose, reveals itself as a shifting dreamscape that blurs the line between performance and identity. In the end, fame is offered to her not as a reward but as a total, consuming and irreversible transformation.”

As an LA resident for the last fifteen years, sign me up for anything that explores the dark heart of a city that can be simultaneously magical and seedy as hell. I love it, by the way. Well, except for the housing costs.

Westly Heart Monroe, Corin Liall Douieb, Milanka Brooks, Frankie J. Mitchell and Aggy K. Adams also star.

Robert Lang (Mind, Body and Soul) wrote/directed.

Sweetie just wrapped production in Los Angeles.
