Set in 1960s Italy, Sally Bishop (Monroe) and her husband travel to a remote villa in the wake of Sally’s nervous breakdown. The villa’s owner, a mysterious count, takes a peculiar interest in Sally. But he gets far more than he anticipated when Sally’s feminist chaos is added to his perfect, violent Eden of vampire brides.
The film is described as a “gothic, glamorous, and gory” tale that will “flip Bram Stoker’s narrative on its head, exploring the struggle between societal repression and carnal desire.” Monroe previously worked with Okuno on the 2022 feature Watcher. Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu are producing through Likely Story.
