Actors Christina Ricci and John Cusack are returning to the world of horror, as they've both been cast in the upcoming film Distorted from director Rob W. King.
The film's synopsis is as follows:
"The film follows Lauren Curran (Ricci), an artist who suffers from bi-polar disorder and who is recovering from a devastating personal tragedy—the loss of a child. Plagued by disturbing memories and fears for her own safety, Lauren and her devoted husband Russel (Brendan Fletcher) decide to move from a perilous neighborhood to the luxurious, safe and beautiful surroundings of The Pinnacle, an apartment building that boasts ultra modern design features and integrated security systems. But Lauren begins to suspect the building has a dark side to it.
"She seeks the help of Vernon Sarsfield (John Cusack), a phantom-like investigative journalist whose interest is cyber conspiracy. Together, they begin to suspect The Pinnacle's mysterious owner may be using the building's state-of-the-art control systems to subliminally subjugate its unsuspecting residents."
