IFC Films has released a poster and trailer for the psychological thriller Swallow. Written and directed by Carlo Mirabella-Davis, it stars Haley Bennett as a pregnant housewife who develops a dangerous habit of consuming inedible objects. Check them out here, along with the official synopsis…
On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects. A provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller, SWALLOW follows one woman’s unraveling as she struggles to reclaim independence in the face of an oppressive system by whatever means possible.
Swallow is set for a theatrical and VOD release on March 6th and also stars Austin Stowell, Elizabeth Marvel, and Denis O’Hare.
