It was never about romance. It was about control. When Rae sets up a dating profile under a fake name, she's not looking for love - she's setting a trap. After years of silence, someone from her past is watching again. The messages. The photos. The unspoken threat behind every word. She knows who it is. Or she thinks she does. The plan is simple: match, meet, confirm. But when her "date night" begins at a bar she hasn't visited since she was being followed, Rae starts to realize - he's changed his tactics. Or worse: he hasn't changed at all. As the evening unfolds, each moment pulls Rae deeper into a psychological game she swore she'd never play again. A battle of memory, identity, and survival. And this time, she's the one holding the mirror. "Bad Date" is a taut, slow-burn thriller about the blurred line between past and present, fear and power, trauma and control. Smart, chilling, and razor-focused, it peels back the mask of what we call "cringe culture" and exposes the more terrifying truth beneath: some obsessions never end - they just wait for the right profile to go live.
