The Audience Makes the Decisions in Interactive Horror-Thriller The Run

Fans of the Choose Your Own Adventure book series can now relive that excitement with a new interactive horror-thriller, The Run, written and directed by Paul Raschid (The Gallery, White Chamber).

On a remote running trail, where a famous fitness influencer’s morning run becomes a race for survival when she is hunted by seemingly motiveless killers, she meets local farmer Matteo along the way and the viewer’s choices determine whether they live or die. Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones) and George Blagden (Vikings, Black Mirror) will star in the film, which is currently in production in Northern Italy.

In a statement from Seth Michaels, Sara Sometti Michaels, and Reece Foster of Benacus Entertainment & RNF Productions, they said, “We have been following the career of Paul Raschid after meeting him in the Film Festival circuit back in 2018 with his film White Chamber. The interactive aspect of [The Run] is something that excites us, following the success of Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch, we feel that this medium hasn’t been explored much, and making a horror-thriller on top of it, gives the audience the power to control the outcome and future of the characters with a wonderful twist at the end.”
