ULTRASOUND 15

★★★✰✰ OUT NOW DIGITAL

Based on the comic, this low-budget sci-fi tracks the fallout after a tryst between a young man (’s Vincent Kartheiser) and the married woman (Chelsea Lopez) he sleeps with when his car breaks down outside her home. In the first of many twists, hubby is into it, too. Director Rob Schroeder radically flips the plot (and main character) after this point, in an unpredictable descent into madness, and the unconventional medical treatments which follow. Visually unappealing and slow to engage, but its psychological chills are solid.
