“Passion wears a mask of terror in this strangest of all games!”

ThrillerHorror

Wealthy and bored, Paul and Jennifer Montgomery spend their time in a New York City apartment filled with various amusements. Their routine is upended when door-to-door saleswoman Lisa Schindler drops by and is suddenly taken ill. The couple let her spend the night, and soon, the sophisticated Lisa and her hosts embark on a new set of very adult – and very dangerous – games.

A deeply unsettling and psychologically charged experience. It's a slow, deliberate descent into a disturbing ménage à trois, where unspoken desires and manipulation create a suffocating, dreamlike atmosphere. The film feels like a fever dream you can't escape.
