Now on VOD, a case of certain death becomes uncertain in RESET, the latest tale of terror from Midnight Releasing.

 

David Sumner writes and directs this contained thriller starring Alyssa Corella as Danielle, a fun loving college girl on the verge of graduation. To celebrate, she attends a house party to finally let loose the stress of school. Problem is, Danielle parties a bit too hard and passes out. She then awakens in the spare room of an isolated cabin. How she got there? She can't say for sure. She can only take the word of Edgar (Ben Barlow), the friendly yet suspicious owner of the cabin she finds herself in. Things quickly take a dark turn when it's revealed that Edgar's plans for Danielle are anything but pleasant. However, little does Danielle know that she's about to get a second chance at life, which will present her the opportunity to turn the tables on Edgar and get even – at any cost.

"When I decided I was going to make my first feature, I knew I wasn’t going to have that much money so I had to write a script that would work and could be done with very limited locations and a tiny cast. I think in situations like that you’ve got to really put in the effort in terms of shot composition, acting, and writing."

 

– David Sumner (writer/director)

​

RESET is primarily a two character film taking place entirely in one location. This setting allowed for the terror that's depicted on screen to come across more authentic, which came with the added blessing of keeping production costs low.

​

"What I like about the horror genre is the ability to cause a visceral feeling of excitement with very little resources. If you want to make the audience excited or thrilled or emotional you can do that by spending a 100 million dollars to make an amazing car chase or you can have a sympathetic character getting chased by a masked killer."

 

– David Sumner (writer/director)

​

"RESET is a pretty unsettling experience. It's a feeling that grows throughout the runtime. Some moments are pretty surreal and I definitely think the audience will be on the edge of their seats to see how it all turns out."

 

– Darrin Ramage (CEO Midnight Releasing)
