Modern dating horror gets a Groundhog Day-style twist in the trailer for The Death Thing, Shudder's upcoming movie from writer/director Elric Kane.

In the clip above we see Alex (Blu Hunt) doomswiping on a dating app before she meets a man (Ben Smith-Petersen) she has an instant connection with. The problem? The next time she meets him, he appears to have no recollection of their first date.

Katherine Hughes and John Karna also star in what looks like a creepy and psychological take on modern dating app culture.

The Dead Thing is streaming on Shudder from Feb. 14.
