Interview: Director Rob Schroeder Talks Ultrasound Movie, Working With Bob Stephenson, Misinformation, More

gamerant.com:

Ultrasound is a compelling horror thriller where nothing is quite as it seems. First premiering at the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival, the movie found its way into theaters in the United States on March 11, 2022, ahead of its VOD release on June 7, 2022.

Directed by Rob Schroeder (in his feature film debut) and adapted from Conor Stechschulte's graphic novel, Ultrasound tells the story of three strangers who become intertwined in a chaotic experiment. It features endless, mind-blowing twists that begin when Glen (Vincent Kartheiser) has tire problems and stops at a nearby house for help. He meets the strange couple Art (Bob Stephenson) and Cyndi (Chelsea Lopez), and is welcomed in for a drink and to rest. The vibe is instantly uneasy and would be reminiscent of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show if there were singing and cheer involved. However, staying true to its dark and off-beat nature, the movie adopts a consistently serious tone⁠— even as Art persuades Glen to sleep with his wife. Things quickly get messy. Cyndi falls pregnant, and two more characters are introduced, an unhappy woman stuck in an unfulfilling relationship, Katie (Rainey Qualley), and medical professional Shannon (Breeda Wool) working on a questionable experiment.
