Freestyle Digital Media has announced the North American VOD release of smart home psychological horror thriller “Motion Detected.” The film premiered at the 2022 Dances With Films Festival and will debut on cable VOD and Digital HD, including iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Comcast, and Verizon, on May 19, 2023.
Written and directed by Justin Gallaher and Sam Roseme, the feature tells the story of a traumatized survivor Eva, who narrowly escaped being murdered during a recent terrifying home invasion in Mexico City. She and her husband decide to relocate to Los Angeles, where she can recuperate. But when her husband has to travel for business, she’s left alone in an unfamiliar place and suffering from paranoia. She’s consoled by the smart home security system, but the technology is difficult to master and she starts to wonder if it will actually keep her safe or take over her life.
The film stars Natasha Esca (“Narcos: Mexico”), Katelyn MacMullen (“General Hospital”), Roland Buck III (“Chicago Med”), Carlo Mendez (“The Bay”), Julie Brister (“Goliath”), and Bob Clendenin (“Cougar Town”).
