She’s a lonely single mom whose desire to glam up for a date, by purchasing a bold red dress, is about to pull on a disturbing thread. Chief among them is the dress shop salesperson (Fatma Mohamed) of vampiric look and Transylvanian voice, who persuades hesitant Sheila to purchase the red dress she’s been cautiously eyeing. The dress seems to acquire a life of its own and a desire to cause mayhem, and also strange red skin rashes. Claustrophobic lensing by Ari Wegner (“Lady MacBeth”) and a cacophonous synth score by Cavern of Anti-Matter up the dread. That cackle you hear, with another twist of the dial, is Strickland’s maniacal laughter.
