What begins as a promising professional dinner turns into a night of primal terror in this relentless horror-thriller. Ella Balinska stars as Cherie, a single mother and ambitious assistant who agrees to a last-minute meeting with her firm’s most important client, the charming and influential Ethan, played by Pilou Asbæk. The evening starts smoothly, but as it progresses, Ethan’s polished facade cracks to reveal a deeply sinister and predatory nature. Forced to flee for her life, Cherie finds herself in a harrowing game of cat-and-mouse across the city, where the normal rules of society seem to dissolve and every potential safe harbor holds new danger. Directed by Shana Feste, the film escalates into a tense and visceral fight for survival, pitting Cherie’s raw instinct and desperation against a seemingly unstoppable foe. With support from a cast including Clark Gregg and Shohreh Aghdashloo, Run Sweetheart Run masterfully blends social thriller elements with the pulse-pounding urgency of a creature feature, creating a chilling exploration of vulnerability and the fierce will to survive against monstrous odds.
