Haunted Heart: Matt Dillon's new thriller was filmed in a beautiful corner of Greece

Haunted Heart, directed by Fernando Trueba, is in theatres.

Trikeri in South Pelion, which is beautiful and relatively unknown to mass tourism, is the setting of Matt Dillon's new film. It is a Spanish-Colombian production directed by Fernando Trueba, who also wrote the script in collaboration with Rylend Grant.

The film, "Haunted Heart," is set on a beautiful, isolated Greek island.

The charming Alex (Aida Folch) gets a job as a waitress in a small seaside restaurant. She immediately wins the heart of the charismatic Enrico (Juan Pablo Urrego), but she falls in love with the restaurant's enigmatic manager, Max (Matt Dillon), a lonely American who settled on the island decades ago.

As the seasons pass, the sexual tension escalates. Enrico uncovers disturbing clues about Max's dark and mysterious past as tourists come and go. Blinded by love, Alex chooses to ignore the signs, and the story slowly veers into a terrifying battle for survival.

Watch the Haunted Heart trailer:

Trikeri is located on the edge of the peninsula of the Prefecture of Magnesia and is a protected settlement. Until the 1980s, access was only by sea - there was no road to get there - it has largely retained the atmosphere of the past.

At the top of the Fourtouna hill, it is served by the port of Agia Kyriaki, which also hosted part of the filming.
