The Supernatural Survival Horror Thriller RUN SWEETHEART RUN Will Premiere on Amazon Prime
Earlier this year at Sundance, I watched a great supernatural horror movie titled Run Sweetheart Run. The movie was being distributed by Blumhouse and Automatik, but instead of getting a theatrical release, the movie was picked up by Amazon Studios where it will premiere on Prime Video.
The story follows a hard-working single mother named Shari, who just broke free from a bad relationship and is set up by her boss on a date with a client of his. She’s very excited about the date, and he’s very charming. It seems like everything is clicking between the two and it’s the beginning of what looks like a wonderful relationship. That is, until, he invites her into his home and tries to kill her!
Shari ends up escaping the violent attack and goes on the run, as this monster of a man hunts her down to violently kill her.
The movie was written and directed by Shana Feste and it stars Ella Balinska (Charlie’s Angels), Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones), Aml Ameen (The Maze Runner), Dayo Okeniyi (Shades of Blue) and Betsy Brandt (Breaking Bad), with Clark Gregg (The Avengers) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (Star Trek Beyond, House of Sand and Fog).
Matt Newman, Co-Head of Movies at Amazon Studios said in a statement:
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Blumhouse and Automatik. We can’t wait to bring this thriller to our global Prime Video customers. Filmmaker Shana Feste takes the audience on a knuckle-bending ride that is sure to keep genre fans on the edge of their seats.”
Feste went on to say:
“As crazy as audiences may find the film protagonist’s experience, I wrote and directed a film that is based on a very personal story for me and I’m thrilled that a global audience will have the chance to see it soon on Amazon Prime. I’m also grateful to my friends at Universal and Blumhouse for their unending support of the film.”
Producer Jason Blum added:
“Shana is a supremely talented writer and director, and we were fortunate to collaborate with her to help bring her vision to fruition. I’m thrilled that movie loving audiences around the world will get to see the film soon.”
I enjoyed this movie! It was a fun story and it was well-made. I also liked the unexpected way the story played out. I won’t spoil anything for you, but as Shari embarks on an insane journey of survival, she learns that the man that is after her is more dangerous and sinister that she ever thought possible.
As I said in my review, “the movie was very creative in how the elements of the story that were introduced early in the film played out over the course of the movie. The script and story were sharp, and it was filled with violence, blood, and gory action. So if you enjoy that kind of stuff, you’ll love the movie.”
