Summary
Game Rant can share an exclusive clip fromHaunted Heartthat teases some serious romantic tension between its two leads. The movie itself has just been treated to a simultaneous premiere instateside theatersand a VOD release.
Haunted Heart, also known asThe IslandandLost Islandin Spain, is a 2024 thriller directed bySpanish filmmakerFernando Trueba, based on a screenplay by Rylend Grant and Trueba himself. It stars Spanish actress Aida Folch as Alex, a woman who comes to work at a high-end seaside restaurant as a waitress, then falls in love with its manager, Max, portrayed by American actor Matt Dillon. As expected, this sets off a chain reaction involving plenty of drama, or else there wouldn’t be much of a movie.
Aida Folch and Matt Dillon Take a Tense House Tour in Haunted Heart Clip
Game Rant can now share an exclusive clip from the2024 movie, which sees Max offer Alex a tour of his house located on a remote Greek island where the film itself takes place. While Max’s lodgings are fairly modest, Alex quickly discovers a fancy-looking oboe that her host says he cannot play following a brief pause, insisting that it came with the house itself. He also disowns a nearby cross in a similar fashion immediately afterward. There’s palpable romantic tension throughout thisHaunted Heartscene, although Max eventually shuts it down.
This particular excerpt is far from the only occasion on which Alex will learn more about her love interest. Max’s backstory is the central mystery of the film, and something that Aida Folch’s character gradually learns more about over the course of its 128-minute runtime.
Haunted Heart Promises a ‘Harrowing Tale of Survival’
At the same time, Alex will also catch the eye of Enrico, a pilot of a small boat that connects the island where the story takes place with the mainland. This individual, played by Juan Pablo Urrego, will try to get in between Alex and Max by warning the former about the latter’s past, the movie’s synopsis reads, all the while ominously promising that the film will slowly evolve into a “harrowing tale of survival.”
Haunted Hearthad its Spanish premiere in late August 2024 and has now been treated to a limited theatrical release in the United States on September 27. The movie is also set to be available on select VOD platforms later today. Its North American distribution is handled by LA-based VMI WorldWide, which justrecently releasedWhat Remains, an unusual serial killer film inspired by true events.
