Release

In April 2018, it was announced that the rights to the film were acquired by Gravitas Ventures.[1]

The film was released in theaters and on VOD on July 20, 2018.[2]

Reception

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But when the plot finally kicks in, it feels like an afterthought — as though director Dave Schwep and screenwriter David Lee Brant realized too late that they needed something more than two damaged folks in a tacky old house."[3]

Nick Schager of Variety also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The story of a starlet under house arrest who forms an unhealthy bond with her landlord, it’s a low-rent effort that’s equal parts tawdry and tedious, although more problematic for its theatrical and on-demand fortunes is the fact that, from start to finish, it makes little lucid sense."[4]
