Haunted Heart Is An Exciting Return To Form For Matt Dillon
But he has plenty of support from his costars in this noir thriller.
The trailer shows Alex making her way to the Greek island, two weeks late for her original position at the restaurant. Max offers her a test run as a server for two weeks, and she does everything in her power to make him notice her even as she’s warned that he won’t share anything about himself or his past. Tensions rise and tempers flare as their romance blossom, with Max rejecting attempts to get more emotionally intimate while also exhibiting a strong tendency towards possessiveness and jealousy.
Matt Dillon has been in Hollywoodfor decades, often turning in stellar performances like his Oscar-nominated role in 2006’sCrashand his unforgettableturn inThere’s Something About Mary. He’s come a long way since Francis Ford Coppola’sThe Outsidersand now takes center stage once more as the mysterious and somewhat frightening Max. Folch’s career, on the other hand, may not be quite as long but it has been remarkably busy. She shines inHaunted Heart, buoyed by supporting performances such as Juan Pablo Urrego’s in the role of her concerned coworker who tries to warn her about Max.
Haunted Hearthas a runtime of 128 and is being distributed by VMI Worldwide in the US. The movie will arrive in select theaters and On Demand on September 27.
