Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has announced the North American VOD release of their smart house psychological horror thriller Motion Detected. Written and directed by Justin Gallaher and Sam Roseme, the spine-chilling feature tells the story of a traumatized survivor who soon finds herself in even more danger, and at the mercy of her own home.
The film tells the story of 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.
Motion Detected stars Natasha Esca, Katelyn MacMullen, & Roland Buck III, and is the directorial debut of the two filmmakers. The movie world 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 19th, 2023.
