Supernatural Horror Film ‘Dark Distortion’ to Get March 3 Digital Release

Breaking Glass Pictures has set a March 3 digital release for Dark Distortion, a supernatural horror thriller directed and written by Joseph Herrera that blends found footage, crime and psychological terror into a chilling story about voyeurism, influence, and the consequences of being watched.

When a group of adult models turn to theft for a quick score, they unknowingly steal a camcorder containing something far more dangerous than incriminating footage — the restless spirit of a murdered child. As the tape reveals disturbing truths and reality begins to fracture, the group is pulled into a spiral of violence, possession and moral decay with no escape from the camera’s gaze.

The film stars April Hartman, Ethan Vaughan, Jada Jay, Joe Walker, Miles Stoner and Kionna Williams.

“I chose Breaking Glass Pictures to distribute my film because I felt truly seen — not just as a filmmaker, but as a person,” said director Herrera. “I wasn’t just another title in a lineup. I’m excited to continue building this relationship and bringing Dark Distortion to audiences who are ready for something raw and fearless.”
