Looking for love in all the really wrong places.

The Dead Thing–a new horror thriller billed as a “neo-realist take on an Invisible Man story”–this week wrapped filming in Los Angeles, according to a report on Deadline. No release window has been announced.

Elric Kane makes his feature film directorial debut with the movie, working from a script by Webb Wilcoxen (The Frontier).

The Dead Thing–starring Blu Hunt, Ben Smith-Petersen, John Karna and Katherine Hughes–follows a young woman (Hunt) who, “lost in a string of meaningless hookups, falls in love with a sensitive and charismatic man (Petersen),” according to the synopsis.

Unfortunately, she soon discovers her new love “harbors a dark secret that turns their affair into a twisted obsession.”

Monte Yazzie and Matt Mercer produced the feature, with Rebekah McKendry serving as executive producer.
