Unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, Marie's life is thrown into turmoil when she awakens one morning, alone in a room with a corpse in the bathtub. The truth is not even Marie knows for sure.

Jamie can only help so much, however, and Marie's world comes crashing down when she encounters a mysterious stranger who triggers dark and dangerous memories.

Reception
Bad Habits has received mostly positive reviews upon its release.
Digital-retribution gave it 4 out of 5 saying, "Clever, gruesome, grotesque and all wrapped up in a gloriously slimy coat of sleaze, Bad Habits shows that its writer/director Dominic Deacon, and his crew who acquit themselves admirably, is a name to look out for. Next film please folks!".[4]
Severed Cinema's Ray Casta gave 3 and a half stars (out of five) and said, "The film is also erotic and psychosexual, but it never once succumbs to exploitation. A nice touch are the homage's to 1970's Italian cinema which are plentiful. Dominic Deacon's "Bad Habits" is a naughty, Giallo-inspired head-trip that takes the viewer on a dark journey where nothing is what it seems".[3]
Scaryminds.com gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 and said, "One of the best movies I've seen all year, full recommendation to anyone who loves them some quality cinema. Bad Habits will provide the fix true movie fans have been waiting on all year".[5]
