PROJECT DETAILS:
Motion Picture Exchange (MPX) is selling the world sales rights to buyers at the upcoming Cannes Marché du Film. MPX president and co-founder Ryan Bury was quoted saying: "In ‘Swipe,’ Sean Whalen takes another confident step forward behind the camera, delivering a sharp and enthralling horror film with an unpredictable edge. In horror, unique characters matter, and my God has Sean and the team created a memorable group of murderous women that I’m confident will be Halloween and Con costumes for years to come." (4/29/26)

There's currently no US distribution.

Filmed in New Jersey.

Director Sean Whalen said the following about the project: "Swipe’ is very special to me for two distinctive reasons. One, in the late ’90s a graduate from Chapman film program [Mardini] wanted to have lunch with me to tell me that he would like to write a movie so I could have bigger roles because he felt I was not being utilized in Hollywood. We worked together for years on a few projects, including an award-winning short film. Mark Mardini became a dear friend. We remained friends and years later he wrote this wonderful script and I had the opportunity to help get it made. The second reason is, I am so excited to give the world four sadistic women that are right up there with Michael Myers and Ghost Face. I fear that this is lacking in the horror space and I’m so glad to be able to tip the scales a little and give four iconic women characters that are just as terrifying as the murderous screen villains of all time."

Directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Sean Whalen (Crust), who was quoted saying: "Even though I am the director, this was a huge team effort, especially from my producing partners and writer Mardini. I can’t wait to unleash The Doyle ladies into the world!"

This is an indie horror movie.
