Chaotic ‘Lowlife’ Trailer Welcomes You to Hell!
One of the hottest genre titles you’ve never heard of is Lowlife, which is screening not only the Fantasia Film Festival this July but also the Frightfest in London.
The lives of an addict, a Luchador, a cartel organ smuggler, and an ex-con collide in this wildly original crime/drama/blacker-than-black comedy/thriller that’s as informed by Mexican subcultures as it is by American cinema, explains Fantasia about the insane film starring Nicki Micheaux, Santana Dempsey, Ricardo Adam Zarate, and Jon Oswald.
“A ferocious feature debut by Ryan Prows, Lowlife is one of the most gobsmacking crime film discoveries that we’ve come across in years,” adds the site. “Beg, cheat, or steal to be at our World Premiere and witness the birth of an unforgettable instant classic.”
Here’s the first trailer to go along with some brand new imagery from the film that’s absolutely bonkers, channeling the best of Tarantino’s pulp revolution, while also delivering the bloody goods for the horror hounds.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
