STANLEYVILLE is ready to hit theatres April 22. The quirky dark feature from writer/director Maxwell McCabe-Lokos will premiere exclusively at New York City’s Metrograph Theatre with a wider release to follow.
The pitch black comedy, which critics lovingly call “a strange movie for strange people” and “an episode of Survivor for sociopathic miscreants,” stars Susanne Wuest (Goodnight Mommy), Cara Ricketts (The Resident), Christian Serritiello, George Tchortov (Amazon’s The Expanse), Adam Brown (The Hobbit trilogy), and genre legend Julian Richings (Cube). Don’t miss this exciting premiere screening!
The film sets on prim and proper Maria (Wuest) decides to unceremoniously walk away from her boring job, her inept husband, and her obnoxious daughter. Moments after doing so, she’s invited to participate in a bizarre and—as it turns out—potentially very dangerous sweepstakes contest, the rules of which are seemingly unknown to even its organizers, competing with a collection of idiosyncratic characters for the chance to win true enlightenment… and one slightly used habanero-orange compact sport utility vehicle. Dark as night and deadpan hilarious, with every fresh escalation progressing according to a warped logic that makes perfect (non)sense.
