Dying to show you a good time.
Directed by Ti West
Produced by A24, Little Lamb Productions
A darkly playful 1970s slasher that uses the collision between adult filmmaking and rural morality to explore themes of desire, mortality, and the American grotesque.
In 1979, a group of young filmmakers set out to make an adult film in rural Texas, but when their reclusive, elderly hosts catch them in the act, the cast find themselves fighting for their lives.
