Rod Smith’s DISTORTION Stars Sadie Katz, Helene Udy, Lainee Rhodes, Dawna Lee Heising and Tatiana Larrea
“Distortion” is a psychological horror mystery, where behind every truth there is a lie, and every lie contains some truth. It is a story of five women each hiding their cursed lives, behind a myriad of trickery and distortion.
I am Rod Smith, the writer and director of “Distortion.” Some of you will remember me as the writer of “Mayday” and “Lockdown”, two films distributed by Lionsgate. I also wrote “Cognitive Psychosis” and “Sins of the Mother”. I will be directing a $3 million sci-fi thriller in 2022. I am especially excited about my upcoming film “Distortion” because the cast and crew are entirely female and it is a trilogy. I would like to invite each of you to become a part of “Distortion”, which will also be sent to Lionsgate & Netflix for approval. We are running an IndieGoGo campaign with a myriad of perks at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/distortion–2#/
The story begins five years after Vincent, a psychopathic serial torturer and ritualistic killer is presumed murdered, but his body is never found. Dr. Epstein has invited four women, Vincent’s only living victims to the home where he once tortured and ritualistically sacrificed over 100 women to his God. Dr. Epstein convinces each of the women that she can cure them of the evil that haunts their lives. But Epstein herself is shrouded in mystery and may be withholding her own sinister intentions.
Very quickly the audience and, eventually the characters, understand that there are many evil forces at work in and around the house. The film twists and turns through a maze of lies and revelations, until the horrible truth is finally revealed in the very last scene. In the end, no one is safe, no one will ever be the same and a great evil is unleashed.
