Melissa Bergland (Matlock) is starring in the indie psychological horror film Sweetie, which has wrapped production.

The film follows a young woman named Sweetie (Bergland) on a disorienting descent into the heart of Hollywood’s dark promise, driven by a yearning for fame and meaning. But the city, which is on edge with a serial killer on the loose, reveals itself as a shifting dreamscape that blurs the line between performance and identity. In the end, fame is offered to her not as a reward but as a total, consuming and irreversible transformation.

Westly Heart Monroe plays rising drag queen Choker Darling. Corin Liall Douieb (Tiny Romances), Milanka Brooks (Black Mirror), Frankie J. Mitchell (American Primeval) and Aggy K. Adams (The Witcher) also star.

Conr Kinman, David Todman, Hannah McBride, Kris Alexandrea, Ianthe Mellors, Shaina Rae, Matthew Brown, Anna Newell and Conor Copley round out the cast.

It is written and directed by Robert Lang (Mind, Body and Soul).

Lang is producing under his banner Monkeys Wedding Productions alongside Marshall Arts Media.

Deadline first reported on the film.
