Art of a Hit

Art of a Hit (2024) is an American horror-thriller with a musical core, ready to watch online on iFILM. Gaelan Connell directs a feature where a studio dream quietly curdles into a nightmare.

It's the late nineties. A rock band whose career hangs by a thread travels to a French chateau to cut a record with a legendary, almost ghostlike super-producer. At first it feels like the break of a lifetime. Then the walls start to press in, tempers snap, and the arguments turn ugly — until the musicians grasp that the real threat has nothing to do with deadlines or the fear of flopping. The price of a perfect hit runs far steeper than they ever signed up for.

Ryan Donowho, Tim Jo and Allie MacDonald lead the cast. Ninety-three minutes of one confined location, analog tape and slow-building paranoia, made for anyone drawn to horror about artists consumed by their craft. Stream Art of a Hit (2024) online on iFILM.
