Val
You don't stand a chance in hell with her.
Directed by Aaron Fradkin
Produced by Dread, Epic Pictures Group
A darkly comedic horror-thriller about a desperate criminal ensnared by a demonic escort who plays by her own sadistic rules, blending grotesque humor with genuine menace.
Fin is a criminal on the run, wanted for the murder of his boss and the accidental shooting of an officer. He breaks into the home of a high-class escort, only to discover that you get more than you bargain for with Val, short for “Valefar” – a demon who offers to make all his problems disappear if he agrees to follow her rules. But in Val’s world there are no accidents, and as Fin meets her other “customers”, he learns that Val was expecting him all along, and it isn’t easy to escape Val’s dungeon.
