Headline: A First Date Goes Horribly Wrong in a New Tubi Original Horror
Get ready to feel a new kind of dating anxiety. The official trailer for the Tubi Original horror film Match has been released, and it’s promising a truly terrifying first date. From director Danishka Esterhazy, known for her work on Slumber Party Massacre (2021) and The Banana Splits Movie, the film follows a woman named Paola who meets a handsome suitor online. She arrives for their first date only to discover his house is full of dark and terrifying secrets. The film is set to dive into the dark and unsettling side of online dating, where a “perfect match” can turn into a horrifying trap.
The trailer gives us a glimpse into the suspense and terror that awaits, with Paola desperately trying to escape a house filled with gruesome discoveries. The film is being praised for its return to a more classic horror style, focusing on a single, isolated location to build suspense and dread.
Danishka Esterhazy’s Vision
Director Danishka Esterhazy has a unique voice in the horror genre, known for her female-driven films and ability to blend a specific cinematic style with classic genre tropes. Her approach to Slumber Party Massacre was a modern, feminist take on a classic slasher, and she is expected to bring a similar subversive eye to Match. The film is part of Tubi’s “Terror on Tubi” lineup, which also includes other new releases this October, such as V/H/S Halloween and True Haunting.
Match, written by Jon and Al Kaplan, stars Humberly González and is set to stream exclusively on the free streaming service Tubi on October 3rd.
