The supernatural horror movie, Pathetic Fallacy, has wrapped production.

Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi (Ti West’s X), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), Travis Fimmel (Vikings) and Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) star. Along with starring in the film, Mescudi also provides original songs featured in the film.

Described as “a psychedelic tale of love, death and loss, shot on 35mm,” Pathetic Fallacy follows “a young widower to a new-age mountain town in search of cosmic answers and a chance to heal. When he arrives, he instead finds an outlandish murderer and a forest of demonic spirits who offer a horrific bargain: the power to cheat death at a nightmarish cost.”

Adam Egypt Mortimer (Daniel Isn’t Real) directs from a script by Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari (Transformers OneAnt-Man and the Wasp).

“This script gutted me. I’ve never read anything like it. It’s raw, it’s surreal, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s asking me to go places I’ve never gone as an actor. That’s terrifying and thrilling. I couldn’t walk away from it,” said Mescudi.

The film also features an original score and music by Johnny Jewel.

Mortimer told Deadline, “Bringing Andrew and Gabe’s horrific, tragic, funny script to life is a once in a lifetime project. Together, Kid Cudi and Jessica Rothe create an emotional world that’s a nightmare for their characters and a dream for me to direct. It was magical for us all to collaborate on epic song sequences with synth maestro Johnny Jewel. This is Cudi’s first starring role and what an honor to witness his deep commitment and courage to push his emotions to the brink. At the risk of overpromising, Pathetic Fallacy is going to blow minds, melt faces, and empty tear ducts.”

Producers on the pic include Steven Schneider (The Long WalkStrange Darling)K. Asher Levin, Ronnie Exley, Karina Manashil, Chris Wilkinson, Aria Moffly and Ashleigh Snead.

Deadline first reported on the film’s production wrap.
