In a spine-chilling premise that is set to grip audiences at this year’s FrightFest, “Cheat” explores the haunting tale of a vengeful supernatural being whose sole mission is to exact a deadly punishment upon those who betray their partners. The global rights to this hair-raising film have been acquired by Black Mandala, as reported by Variety.

Crafted by the creative minds of Kevin Ignatius and Nick Psinakis (“The Long Dark Trail”), “Cheat” revolves around an urban legend that emerges from the afterlife, warning of a malevolent force that violently hunts down and murders anyone found guilty of infidelity.

The story unfolds in a serene Pennsylvania college town, where an unsettlingly high suicide rate has cast a foreboding shadow on the once tranquil community. As the locals and college students grapple with these unexplained events, doubts begin to surface, leading them to question the true nature of their reality.

At the center of the chilling narrative is a college woman, who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a dangerous liaison with a married man from the host family she resides with. Unbeknownst to her, this seemingly harmless affair sets off a terrifying chain of events, as the supernatural entity is summoned to unleash its wrath upon the unfaithful.

Variety highlights that Black Mandala, renowned for handling its own productions and international sales of third-party titles, serves as an official aggregator of platforms worldwide, including Amazon, Tubi, HOD, Frightfan IFlix, and Pantaflix.

The highly anticipated FrightFest 2023, taking place from August 24th to 28th in London, promises to be an unforgettable experience for horror enthusiasts as they bear witness to the heart-stopping terror of “Cheat.” Brace yourself for a nightmarish journey into the realm of the unknown, where the consequences of betrayal come at a deadly price.
