This Tempting Madness

Directed by Jennifer E. Montgomery
United States
2025
98 mins

Mia (Simone Ashley) awakens from a coma with no memory of the past six months and the man she loves, vanished. As fragments of her past slowly resurface, the picture they form grows increasingly disturbing. What happened to her? What happened to him? And why can't she trust her own mind? The life she thought she knew – beautiful, enviable, safe – begins to reveal its fault lines. Caught between conflicting accounts and her own fractured recollections, Mia is forced to confront how the story she told herself may have been hiding something far more dangerous.

Inspired by a true story, This Tempting Madness is a psychological thriller about memory, trauma, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
