An erotic nightmare set within the confines of a popular reality TV dating show, where winning in the game of love requires losing everything else. The One follows Taylor (Barrera), who’s made a last ditch effort to find love by becoming a contestant on a reality dating show. Now down to just herself and two other women competing to win the heart of Mason (Hoult), Taylor begins to feel the artifice of the show fade, and the game becomes terrifyingly real. Amidst the opulent beachfront setting, fairy-tale dates, and ever-flowing champagne, pursuit turns into obsession and rivalry turns into treachery as reality itself blurs. ‘The One’ is a nightmarish horror about the romantic & psychological warfare waged by our beloved popular entertainment — and also begs the question… are we the audience complicit?
