THE DEAD CENTER

Director: Billy Senese Theatrical release: October 11, 2019

Troubled psychiatrist Daniel Forrester (Shane Carruth – Primer, Upstream Color) is drawn to help a mysterious patient who is brought to the emergency psych ward in a catatonic state with no memory of how he reached the hospital. As if to exorcise his own demons, the doctor feverishly tries to break through to his mysterious patient. But as a spate of mysterious deaths shake the ward to its core, Forrester comes to suspect that there is more to his new ward than meets the eye. As he comes to realise what he’s unleashed, a desperate race against the forces of evil threatens to swallow him whole. THE DEAD CENTER is a smart psychological thriller that explores the demons that live inside all of us.

A smart, genuinely creepy blend of medical thriller and supernatural horror.Variety

Shane Carruth is excellent in this atmospheric and unsettling slow-burn.Hollywood Reporter
