Directed and written by Chris Stokes, this feels like his most giallo film yet, one in which a maid named Cassandra (Zulay Henao) tries to escape her past but falls for Erik (Flex Alexander), a co-worker who is already dating their boss, Helen (Shalèt Monique). However, Cassandra is an unreliable narrator, and things aren’t as they seem.

In her mind, she and Erik share a deep, clandestine passion. Cassandra believes they are forbidden fruit and is actively planning a future together to escape Helen’s control. Only the wedding and their romance are real, even if they aren’t. This is erotomania, a delusion in which someone believes that a person, usually of higher status, is in love with them.

At one point, a voice tells Cassandra, “Your mom is going to be so happy to see you,”  as she returns to a new phase of her life. However, Cassandra is shown in deep isolation, often talking to herself or reacting to things others don’t see. In many giallo-style thrillers, a sickly mother figure often represents the protagonist’s fractured psyche or a past trauma they cannot let go of.

This has a pretty good story, but the acting and camerawork aren’t good. But the more Stokes leans into giallo, the more he can get away with plotholes, which are actually part of this genre.
