Devon meets Albert for a romantic getaway at Albert’s family cabin, beginning with wine, conversation, dancing, and hot tub time. By the third day, strange events unfold and Devon and Albert become trapped inside without power, food, or water. The story turns toward horror tropes, including an unsettling shower that signals escalating danger. Devon’s emotional journey includes flirting, crying, and performing Shakespearean text while working through trauma. John Brodsky’s performance emphasizes a gradual shift from upbeat, flirty energy to despair as the situation becomes scarier. The film is available for streaming on multiple platforms starting May 26.
"Devon (Brodsky) meeting Albert (Bryan Bellomo) for a romantic getaway at Albert's family's cabin. While things start out well, with wine, talk, dancing, and some hot tub time, by day three some weird events start happening and Devon and Albert become trapped in the house without power, food, and water."
"Brodsky gets to show his versatile skills in Shadows of Willow Cabin, which leans into horror tropes in its second half, especially after Devon has an unsettling shower. The actor also gets to flirt, cry, perform Shakespearean text, and more as Devon works through some trauma."
"I actually attribute that a lot to the way in which we shot it. Joe [Fria, the director] was focused on shooting in order as much as possible. We had two weeks before principal photography, so I didn't have much time to think about character. I think that worked well because Devon and Albert are just starting to get to know one another as Bryan and I were as actors."
"I think what I really relied upon was my instincts. I allowed for the imaginary circumstances to just happen when they did."
