An erotic thriller from the director of PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS, THE LITTLE DEATH offers a peek into the seedy boudoirs of a Victorian-era brothel where a strong-willed reformer (Courtney Patterson) and a corrupter of innocence battle over the fate of a young woman (Christie Vozniak) who seems to be held there in sexual captivity. While the owner attempts to mesmerize and seduce the would-be rescuer, a meek student (Clifton Guterman) wanders into the house and becomes a tragic pawn in the psychological game of cat-and-mouse that is rapidly unfolding. Based on the play "Death and Devil" by Frank Wedekind, integrated with Anton Chekhov’s short story “A Nervous Breakdown,” THE LITTLE DEATH provides a thoughtful examination of the immorality of prostitution but then savagely dashes all preconceived notions of “good vs. evil” in a climax that is as violent as it is unexpected.
