Valentine’s Day often elicits thoughts of love and the colors pinks and red. It is a day to celebrate love with the mascot of an adorable cherub cupid spreading it. However, this is not the real cupid, in fact the Roman god is much more dark than his marketable image. That is where Writer and Director Scott Jeffrey (The Bad Nun 2018, The Final Scream 2019) comes in with this new Cupid, due to DVD and Digital on Tuesday, February 11, 2020 via Uncork’d Entertainment.
Seeking to show the ‘love god’ in his true form, Cupid stars Georgina Jane (The 12 2017, Pet Graveyard 2019) and Bao Tieu (Blood and Fairy Tales 2016, Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom 2018) and destroys all illusions of having a happy Valentine’s Day. Faye (Jane) is a teenager who is attempting to navigate the horrors of high school and a shattered home life. She is constantly being bullied by resident mean girl, Elise (Sarah T. Cohen: Younger 2015, The Interestings 2016), and her gang of friends.
She has the support of her best friend, Matt (Ali Barouti: Brothers with No Game 2012, Mogul Mowgli 2020), but it is not enough to fulfill her. Faye has also fallen for her teacher, Duncan Jones (Michael Owusu: The Legend of Tarzan 2016, Chopsticks!! 2018). Mr. Jones is a favorite among the student body, as well as his fellow teacher Heather Drake (Abi Casson Thompson: Tlaloc Sacrificium 2019, The Candy Witch 2020). Elise plans to use that to her advantage.
After a particularly humiliating bullying event orchestrated by Elise on Valentine’s Day, Faye is left devastated and distraught. She often practices black magic to relieve stress, and this time she attempts and succeeds in summoning Cupid (Tieu). If Faye cannot have her one true love, she does not want anyone else to have it either. Now that the dark Roman god has been summoned the question arises: Who will survive this Valentine’s Day?
