Red Water Entertainment has released the one-take thriller FAILURE! starring Ted Raimi (Spiderman, The Quarry) On Digital and On Demand January 28.
Shot in a continuous 87-minute take, this Mexican-U.S. co-production follows business tycoon James (Raimi), a devoted family man facing a dire ultimatum: resolve a crushing bank debt within an hour or risk losing his business. With greedy associates, deceitful friends, and haunting ghosts from his past closing in, James is pushed to the brink, faced with the unthinkable choice between financial ruin or murder.
Written and directed by Alex Kahuam (Forgiveness), FAILURE! makes a historic achievement as the first time a Mexican director has created a feature film without cuts in the United States. Joining Raimi in the cast are Merrick McCartha (Senior Year), Melissa Diaz (Ruthless), John Paul Medrano (Seven Days), Daniel Kuhlman (Voodoo MacBeth), and Noel Douglas Orput.
The film screened at the 2023 inaugural Fantastic Pavilion Gala, the genre showcase of the Cannes Film Market. After that, it made its world debut at Frightfest in 2023 and was screened at Morbido Film Fest, Fantaspoa, and Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
Alex Kahuam and Marco De Molina produced FAILURE! along with Kayli Fortun, Ted Raimi and Jose D. Rodriguez via Kahuam’s Promotora NAE and De Molina’s Spacebrain Entertainment.
