The Dinner (In Development), A Film by Julia Habchi
A seemingly perfect Halloween dinner spirals into horror as charm turns into control, obsession festers beneath the surface, and trust itself becomes the deadliest weapon in the room.
In the vein of films like American Psycho, Parasite, and Get Out, THE DINNER blends dark humor, mounting suspense, social tension, and layered character dynamics into a stylish psychological horror experience.
