Cast a Dark Shadow
“No woman could resist his sinister charm!”
CrimeThriller
Edward "Teddy" Bare is a ruthless schemer who thinks he's hit the big time when he kills his older wife, believing he will inherit a fortune. When things don't go according to plan, Teddy sets his sights on a new victim: wealthy widow Freda Jeffries. Unfortunately for the unscrupulous criminal, Freda is much more guarded and sassy than his last wife, making separating her from her money considerably more challenging.
VIBE
A grim, morally bankrupt tale of a desperate man's greed. This British noir feels cold and calculating, with a palpable sense of impending doom. It’s a cynical look at ambition gone wrong, where every move feels fraught with peril.
