Halloween night turns deadly for one American town in this low-budget slasher, where a daughter's search for answers collides with an escaped patient nobody wants loose.
What is Die ced about?
A teenage girl has spent months trying to find out what happened to her missing mother, chasing leads that keep going cold. On Halloween night, her search puts her directly in the path of a violent figure who has just been mistakenly released from a psychiatric facility. What starts as a personal investigation turns into a fight to survive the night, as the small town's Halloween festivities become cover for a killer moving largely unnoticed through the crowds. The film leans into a classic slasher setup, tracking its protagonist as she is forced to piece together her mother's fate while staying one step ahead of the danger now hunting her.
About the cast
Eden Campbell leads as the daughter driving the search, with Jason Brooks, Jon Meggison, director Jeremy Rudd, Nigel Vonas, Esha More, and Ryan Chen filling out the small-town cast of neighbors, officials, and other figures caught up in the night's events.
Context & significance
Jeremy Rudd directs and also appears on screen, working within the American independent horror scene where a tight cast and a single-location Halloween setting keep the production compact. Released in 2023 and running just an hour, the film sits closer to a lean genre exercise than a sprawling franchise entry, favoring pace and a contained small-town setting over elaborate mythology.
