Defang the police with Night Patrol, now available on Digital to rent ($9.99) or purchase ($14.99) via RLJE Films. It will stream on Shudder later this year.
Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You), Justin Long (Barbarian), WWE superstar Phil “CM Punk” Brooks, and Dermot Mulroney (Scream VI) star in the vampire cop thriller.
In the film, an LAPD officer must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.
Ryan Prows (V/H/S/94) directs from a script he penned with his Lowlife co-writers Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson, and Shaye Ogbonna.
RJ Cyler (Power Rangers), rappers Freddie Gibbs and YG, Nicki Micheaux (“The Shield”), and filmmaker/rapper Flying Lotus (V/H/S/99) round out the cast.
David S. Goyer, Keith Levine, Josh Goldbloom, and James Harris produce.
Trace Thurman wrote in his review out of Fantastic Fest,”Night Patrol may not fully flesh out its themes by the time the credits roll, but a committed cast and a few standout performances, not to mention the technical prowess on display from Prows, allow the film to rise above its flaws.”
