Hi! I'd like to know if anyone can help me identifying the name of a film and an actor that appears in it. Unfortunately, I only saw one scene from the film, so I'll give you as many details I can remember.

There is a young woman who is giving a statement to two police detectives, a man and a woman. The girl tells them (in what appears as a flashback) about a writer (a hot man, short dark hair and very masculine looks; I think the name of his character is "Mitch", but I can be wrong) who has a hard relationship with his father and has become relatively famous for writing books (I think they are self-help books, but I can be wrong). This writermeets at home with a former high school classmate who used to bully him at the time (his name is Luke or Luc, and the bullying is shown in a brief flashback; he's also quite hot), supposedly wanting to reconcile with him. Luke (or Luc) goes to the writer's house and apologizes for his past behavior, thanking him for dedicating one of his stories ("I Forgive You, Luke" or something like that) to him. The writer says he wants to show Luke (or Luc) something and they both go up to a room in the house. When Luke enters the room, there's a "monster" (not shown) that "devours" Luke (also not shown), and in return gives the writer a paper with a story, implying that "the writer" doesn't actually write any stories himself but receives a story from the "monster" every time he gives it a victim. The male detective thinks the girl telling this story is crazy or drugged, but the female detective believes her and is willing to investigate.

I tried a website called "identifymovie" or something like that and it tells me it is a film named "The monster's gift", but there is no film with that name on the Internet Movie Data Base site.

Does anyone know the film I am talking about, and the name of the two actors (the writer and Luke or Luc)? Thanks in advance...
