Dawna Lee Heising of EOE Interviews Cast of Eric Shapiro’s Award-winning Film RULE OF THREE

The cast of Eric Shapiro’s “Rule of Three” appeared on Eye on Entertainment in March 2011.  The movie, a psychological shocker about sexual compulsives and predators, accumulated critical praise during its 2008 festival run, winning awards at Shriekfest and Fantasia.  Unlike slasher films where all the fear comes from the outside, in the more subtle psychological horror subgenre, terror tends to come from within.  “Rule of Three”, the psychological thriller directed by Eric Shapiro and co-written by Shapiro and lead actress Rhoda Jordan, is a film noir piece that shows what happens when the disturbing menace emerges from deep within, according to Fangoria.com.

Jon Morrow, an obsessed, grief-stricken father, searches frantically for his missing daughter as “Rule of Three” reveals a riveting chain of events. The film takes place in a sleazy motel room, but weaves forward and back to multiple points in time, making viewers strain to put the puzzle together.  What happened to a father's missing daughter?  If only he knew about the sexual games his daughter was playing right before she disappeared, much less the dark erotic urges of all the suspects surrounding the crime...

Also according to Fangoria.com, the fast-paced, nail-biting thriller from acclaimed author, Eric Shapiro, is a roller-coaster mystery with gut-wrenching tension and stunning surprises.  “The number three shows up everywhere in life – in spirituality, in storytelling, in the basic components of existence,” Shapiro says. “Our consciousness naturally goes toward triangles, probably because it takes a man and a woman to make a child, so each person is a participant in a three-member process. So we tried to implement threes on every level-three-act structure, three different narratives, three main characters per story, three points in time, a pair of threesome narratives and the presence of 3:00.”   To see the Eye on Entertainment video, please go to:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTX3MJrTf8
