If The Crow was about a hip-hop head instead of a rock musician — and made on a shoestring budget — it’d probably look a lot like The Grim Rapper.
The supernatural horror film is expected to stream this summer via Full Moon Features. Watch the trailer below.
Lamarr Mattison stars as D.A. Mann, a rap icon murdered at the height of his fame who returns from the dead three decades later after forging a dark pact with an Aztec blood demon. Driven by vengeance and the desperate hope of seeing his true love one final time, he rises to confront the people who betrayed him and deliver their souls to the demon.
When Hathorne Slim a ruthless record label executive attempts to cash in by releasing D.A. Mann’s unreleased albums, the resurrected rapper unleashes a wave of supernatural retribution that threatens the executive and everyone in his path.
Vincent M. Ward (“The Walking Dead”), Akin Coley, Osmara Rojas, Akeem Mair, Tarik Lawrence, Gigi Cambra, Chuey Martinez (“WWE Evolve”), Kemo the Blaxican, Anthony J Cruz, and Ernie C. of Ice-T’s Body Count round out the cast.
Full Moon marketing veteran Hugo Velazco makes his feature directorial debut on the project. Charles Band produces.
The Grim Rapper is one of nine films Full Moon is slated to produce in 2026. The next three — Models vs. Werewolves, Buried Secrets, and Robotica — are already in the can.
