Dungeons of Ecstasy

Dungeons of Ecstasy really set my screen on fire! The twists and turns of the story had me in a chokehold! I'm also so proud of Nicole for bravely taking the role of Emily! It's new, challenging, and she proved just how versatile she is as an actress!

Eric and Felix did not disappoint either! The dark and mysterious façade of their characters literally gave me chills!

Overall, I absolutely enjoyed it and will definitely watch it again! I also hope ReelShort continues to bring more stories with refreshing plots.

"Dungeons of Ecstasy" is a breath of fresh air for the vertical format! The storyline is intriguing, unique, and such a nice break from the endless parade of werewolves we've all seen before.

It begins with Emily (Nicole Mattox) and her husband Luke (Eric Guilmette) in a serious car accident. After a long hospitalization and a shocking set of divorce papers from Luke, Emily heads to Italy in search of answers. There she encounters a mysterious man who looks just like her ex-husband-but with a much darker edge.

Set against the backdrop of a dungeon in Italy, Emily stays to uncover its secrets and unravel the mystery behind the stranger's true identity.

Eric Guilmette is phenomenal as the brooding and enigmatic Lucian (of course he is!). No one else could capture the duality of Luke and Lucian quite like him.

Nicole Mattox shines as Emily, bringing to life a woman who is clearly done with Luke, Lucian, and men in general wasting her time. Her refreshingly nonchalant attitude makes her a standout-no "vertical damsel in distress" here!

Felix Merback nails his role as the good guy who might just have a sinister side, and his expression in the final scene has me begging for DOE 2!

The pacing is perfect-fast-moving with zero repetitive filler-and every episode left me hooked. This is definitely one I'll rewatch again and again!

A thrilling, suspenseful, creepy, love story taken place in an Italian fortress.

This is what we have needed in the vertical world, a new storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you have the storyline figured out it takes a sharp left leaving you wanting more.

This new vertical is a SMASH hit!! The three main characters compliment each other so well you can feel it.

Eric Guilmette's performance of Luke/Lucian was incredible! Finally a character that let him show more of his acting capabilities. I'm a big fan of Eric's, everything he does is fantastic but this was a whole new side we haven't seen yet. A creepy, suspenseful, loving, protective ex-husband!

Nicole Mattox's portrayal of Emily showed not all vertical women are waiting for a billionaire superhero to save them. She became this character of a vulnerable, smart, strong, capable woman. Defying the damsel in distress! Going toe to toe with her captures. For me this is her best performance. The chemistry between Luke and Emily is undeniable!

Felix Merback definitely brought the creeper vibe into this vertical playing Jonah. So many twists and turns with his character but he never succumbed to letting Eric and Nicole outshine him! There were a few times he reminded me of John Malkovich in this film.

This film deserves and NEEDS a part 2!!

Congratulations to the writers, director, producers, actors and Reelshort for reaching out for something new; it was a huge success!!

So first of all hats off to everyone for this series and hope to see a part 2, part 3 etc...

Eric guilmette who plays luke/lucien was so great in this role. He always portrays his characters so well and this one is no different. He hits this out of the park.

Nicole mattox as Emily was perfect. She is the loving wife who goes to find out what happened to the man she thought she knew only to go through twists and turns in finding out what happened to her husband.

Felix merback as Jonah rocked. Felix doesnt get the credit he deserves for his acting and now producing. The look at the end totally leaves room for a sequel because of course it leaves u with a creepy feeling. Felix left u wanting more because u have to know more about his character.

Chef's kiss to this cast and cant wait for more!!!!

✨ Review of Dungeon of Ecstasy ✨

This series didn't just leave me speechless-it ensnared me. From the first frame to the last haunting moment, Dungeon of Ecstasy is an intoxicating masterpiece. It pulls you into its shadowed halls of love, betrayal, and power, leaving you suspended between desire and dread.

Eric Guilmette was nothing short of mesmerizing. As Lucien (Luke), he embodied the perfect paradox: powerful yet vulnerable, commanding yet achingly human. Every calculated movement, every cold glance carried layers of hidden longing and restrained fury. His performance was neither overdone nor understated-it was enthralling, seductive, and unforgettable, like a master pulling strings in a forbidden game.

Nicole Mattox gave the series its fierce, beating heart. As Emily, she was radiant with resilience-unyielding in her quest for truth, yet courageous enough to open herself to love and possibility. Her strength was intoxicating, her vulnerability haunting. In many ways, she became the soul of this story, grounding the ecstasy with raw humanity.

Felix Merback was the dangerous whisper in the dark. As Jonah, he was twisted charm incarnate-seductive, manipulative, and cunning. His performance dripped with menace and allure, keeping you guessing whether to trust him or recoil. He was the shadow at the edge of every scene, the temptation that threatened to unravel everything.

The story itself is daring, layered, and unforgettable-a descent into a dungeon where nothing is as it seems, where ecstasy and peril walk hand in hand. And that ending... a masterstroke, lingering like a haunting echo.

Not just a series, but an experience.
