“Dead and Lonely”, IFC’s original five episode web series written, produced and directed by cult indie horror filmmaker Ti West (“The Roost,” “Trigger Man,” “The House Of The Devil”) is slated to premiere on IFC.com Monday, October 26 at Noon ET/PT, with additional episodes airing every night that week on IFC.com at Noon. The series mixes the classic vampire love story with our modern Internet dating age, featuring the exploits of two lonely Los Angeles singles brought together via the popular Internet dating website DateOrDie.net. Unfortunately for the couple, one of them is a vampire.
The series unfolds from both the predator and the victim’s perspective until the characters finally meet. In the vein of “Let the Right One In”, the series focuses on the mundane reality of the day-to-day life of an immortal, while seeking to humanize her to the degree that she seems almost as desperate and lonely as the rest of modern society.
“Dead and Lonely” starring Justin Rice (“Mutual Appreciation,” “Alexander The Last”) and Paige Stark, is the latest in a crop of shows capitalizing on the vampire theme renaissance, with “Vampire Diaries” and “True Blood” producing TV ratings bonanzas for studios. Although, “Dead and Lonely” is a webseries, it could easily make the jump to TV, as “Sanctuary” did.
