Black Static

From the producers of You’re Next comes Cheap Thrills.

Unemployed and down on his luck, Craig (Pat Healy) finds himself drowning his sorrows in an attempt to forget the mounting debts threatening to tear his family apart. When a chance meeting with an old friend (Ethan Embry) leads to one drink after another, the pair find themselves drawn into an innocent game of dare by a thrill-seeking couple with money to burn, Violet (Sara Paxton) and Colin (David Koechner).

As the night progresses both Vince and Craig become the victims of their own greed, as the initially fun game escalates into something far more sinister. When the money is on the table, how far will two friends go to ensure their futures?

Tony Lee will no doubt be covering Cheap Thrills in the next issue of Black Static, but the film has picked up many rave reviews elsewhere, including:

“One of the most involving works of cinematic misanthropy in years” The Hollywood Reporter

“It’s comedy served jet black and full of razor sharp wit” Ain’t It Cool News

“This is a 100% can’t miss film for any viewer that wants to be sickened, surprised and impressed” Bloody Disgusting

“Cheap Thrills is everything you’d want out of a satirical thriller and more” Dread Central

“Cheap Thrills breezes by on a twisted idea, a fantastic cast, and a bunch of ethical quandaries that are both eerily uncomfortable and slyly fascinating at the same time” FearNet

“Simple, effective and consistently provocative” Chris Tilly, IGN
