Coming to Select U.S. Cinemas on October 2nd and VOD October 6th is Gravy, the indie dark comedy co-written and directed by James Roday (“Psych”) that’s all about some strange dietary choices. And to celebrate the upcoming release, we’ve got an exclusive clip that shows Jimmi Simpson trying to get Michael Weston to calm down and empathize a bit with what’s going on in their murderous group dynamic. You can see the clip below.

The synopsis for Gravy reads:

It’s All Hallow’s Eve. A trio of costumed misfits with very special dietary requirements seizes a Mexican cantina and forces the staff to engage in a late night of gaming, food and libations. The only caveat is what’s on the menu.

The directorial debut of James Roday (star of “Psych”), Gravy boasts an all-star ensemble cast of Michael Weston (State of Play, Garden State), Jimmi Simpson (“House of Cards,” White House Down), Sutton Foster (Younger, “Bunheads”), Lily Cole (Snow White and the Huntsman), Molly Ephraim (Last Man Standing), Paul Rodriguez (Ali), Gabriel Luna (“True Detective,” “Wicked City”), Lothaire Bluteau (“Vikings,” “The Tudors”), Ethan Sandler (The Bourne Supremacy, “Crossing Jordan”) Dule Hill (“Ballers,” “Psych”), with Gabourey Sidibe (Empire, Precious) and Sarah Silverman (Wreck-It Ralph).

In the horror prequel, “A shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the ‘Dancing Village,’ a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away, and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.

“Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new ‘Dawuh,’ a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.”

Kimo Stamboel directs from a screenplay by Lele Laila.
