ABOUT
Lonely Hearts was originally conceived when director Dennis Cahlo was listening to a true crime podcast. The episode was about a serial killer's first attempt at online catfishing and how it backfired. Inspired by the absurdity of this true story, Cahlo saw the potential for a scary-yet-hilarious film premise. From there, he presented a simple idea to star and Executive Producer Bethany Watson: "What if we took the horror/slasher genre and comedically turned it on its head?" From that jumping off point, the two finalized the script, drew storyboards and character designs based on Dennis' love of Italian Giallo and Hitchcock films, and carefully crafted a world that took an incredibly talented team to help bring to life. Brimming with hidden secrets, clues, and twists, Cahlo and his team sought to fill every frame with cinematic homages, story clues, and visual treats that would have audiences wanting to re-watch the film just to catch them all.
