What happens when you throw together a fallen Mexican wrestler with serious rage issues, a just-out-of-prison ex-con with a regrettable face tattoo, and a recovering junkie motel owner in search of a kidney? That’s the premise of the berserk, blood-spattered, and wickedly entertaining feature debut from Ryan Prows.
Our sister site Downright Creepy was lucky enough to screen IFC Midnight’s ‘Lowlife’ at their film festival Panic Fest in Kansas City to rave reviews. Our own Adrian Torres said it “…is One Hilarious Blood-Splattered Gut-Punch Of A Debut” filled with colorful characters and villains. Now the world will get to experience ‘Lowlife’ on VOD and digital platforms April 6th.
‘Lowlife’ is set amidst the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, Lowlife zigzags back and forth in time as it charts how fate—and a ruthless crime boss—connects three down-and-out reprobates mixed up in an organ harvesting scheme that goes from bad to worse to off-the-rails insane. Careening from savagely funny to just plain savage to unexpectedly heartfelt, this audacious thriller serves up nonstop adrenaline alongside hard-hitting commentary about the state of contemporary America.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
