Touted as "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.
Written and directed by Carlo Mirabella-Davis (The Swell Season), Swallow is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on August 4th from Scream Factory, in conjunction with IFC Midnight.
"On the surface, Hunter Conrad (Haley Bennett, The Girl on The Train) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, Hunter seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell, Whiplash). 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."
David Rasche ("Succession") and Denis O'Hare ("True Blood") also star.
Joe Wright, the director of Darkest Hour and Atonement, served as an active creative executive producer on the film.
