On April 6th, IFC Midnight will be giving a VOD and limited theatrical release to LOWLIFE, the feature directorial debut of Ryan Prows, which has been compared to PULP FICTION and sounds to be gloriously insane.
Starring Nicki Micheaux, Mark Burnham, Jon Oswald, Ricardo Adam Zarate, Shaye Ogbonna, Santana Dempsey, Jose Rosete, King Orba, and Clayton Cardenas, LOWLIFE has the following synopsis:
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.
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.
The poster and trailer for the film can be seen below, and it looks quite entertaining. Really, if you drop a luchador into any sort of story you instantly increase the chances of getting me to watch it.
Check out the trailer and see if you’ll be adding LOWLIFE to your “must watch” list:
