Swiss actor
Elijah Knight will star in the new horror short film Detox Inn, which will be shot in Engadin Graubünden from June 13th
to 17th. The plot follows Sandra, a young influencer who retreats to a remote
hotel in the Alps for a "digital detox". She soon realizes that
something is wrong with the hotel and its owner.
The film is
directed by Andreas Elsener who has already shot “Monte Iato - La storia di uno
scavo” in Sicily. The setting is very picturesque: Engadin is one of the
highest inhabited valleys in Europe, reaching 1,800 meters. Filming will take
place in the notorious Hotel Fex in Sils. The other days of filming will take
place in Davos. "What an honor to be shooting in my father’s home state.
Just like the Hockey Club Davos at the Spengler Cup Tournament. I shall have
home ice advantage on this shoot!" Knight says.
The film is
financed by seven cultural foundations in the canton of Graubünden. Detox Inn is director Andreas Elsener's third
film to be shot in Graubünden: he also shot Bounty for Bernadette and Druckabfall
in the canton.
On June 14, the
short film Dracula, Son of the Devil, for which Knight won
the supporting actor award at the Best International Film Festival, will also
premiere at the Quinnie Cinema in Berne. The plot revolves around Vlad the
Impaler and his wife, who is murdered by his brother Radu during their
marriage. Vlad is condemned to eternal life until he finds the reincarnation of
his wife, and he wanders the land satisfying his bloodlust for more than 500
years until he finds her. Knight plays the role of Radu.
In May, the
actor made a trip to Los Angeles, living into the wild. He did not stay in
luxury hotels, but slept outdoors and traveled in a pickup truck. He held
business meetings and participated in an acting session with acting career
coach Deborah Meister.
