Featuring dark-as-pitch comedy throughout, "Love Sick Love" starts as a twisted romance and ends as an edgy thriller. Dori (Katia Winter, "Dexter") initially appears both stunning and sophisticated, but her gorgeous looks deceive: This serial dater is a sociopath hell-bent on having the "perfect" relationship. Deep in the isolated countryside, far from any help or even a cell-phone tower, Norman (Matthew Settle, "The Celestine Prophecy") is forced to endure a comical yet terrifying weekend that compresses all the key holidays that define a successful couple's relationship Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve into a few fraught days. Charlotte Rae ("Bananas") and M. Emmett Walsh ("Blade Runner") co-star as Dori's colluding parents. With director Charles, writer Ryan Oxford, producer Anne Estonilo, and executive producer Eric Matejevich.
