Ally works at a marketing firm and is quickly rising up the ladder. She prides herself on her work and loves the paycheque that comes with her career.

He can be really sensitive in a way that the boys in business school never were. That being said, he can also be manipulative, and she feels that she's finally waking up to that. Her girl friends at the firm don't particularly like James and so she's stopped telling them about their fights recently.

Toronto
Role description

Renee is a quiet, intuitive and vigilant woman. She wakes up disoriented and alone in a remote forest, and is desperate and determined to find her way home. She discovers an isolated house and prepares her sharpest key when knocking on its door, ready to fend for herself. When Lorraine welcomes Renee into her home with a motherly warmth, she becomes dissociative and aware of her current state of panic. Renee is adamant about getting a phone, looking for any opportunity to get help. However, Lorraine convinces Renee to stay and rest until her son Malcolm arrives home to help her call home. Once Malcolm arrives, Renee anxiously waits for his phone to charge. While passing the time and exploring the home, she starts to notice eerie layers hidden beneath the welcoming surface: displayed photographs of different women. Malcolm’s frightening behaviour adds to her nerves, as she understands that her intuition is scarily correct. Renee is continuously alert that she is being watched by Malcolm, and her heightened awareness of danger fuels a defensive and instinctive reaction to escape.

Role description

Lorraine represses her fear of Malcolm with performative smiles and eerie gentleness. Her demeanor is warm, tender and welcoming towards Renee when she arrives at her house. As a woman, she sympathizes with Renee; however, Lorraine doesn’t warn her of Malcolm’s known danger. Instead, she convinces Renee to stay in their home until he arrives. Lorraine lures her in with food, warm drinks, and a hint at vulnerability when she reveals that she grieves the death of her daughter. She is the victim and enabler in the violent cycle Malcolm perpetuates, as she submits to him by remaining quiet and compliant. Seemingly accustomed to this cycle, Lorraine remains emotionless with every action.

Role description

Malcolm is a charismatic, controlling and volatile man who has a predatory fixation on women. His obsession with Renee begins with a performative politeness, growing into a ritualistic and calculative psychological manipulation. His goal is to keep Renee confined in his home. His initial forced charm progresses into pushy intrusion when Renee distances herself, resulting in an irritation that fuels a violent aggression. He uses his male presence as a threat to enforce control and instill fear in Renee and Lorraine; snake-like, his calm and controlled speech unexpectedly turns into harsh and chilling tones. He can’t accept when things don’t go his way, especially when he expects perfection and total submission in the domestic tasks Lorraine performs.
