Freestyle Digital Media Drops the Trailer for Samson: A Dark Comedy Crime Thriller

Get ready for a twisted ride with Samson, a dark comedy crime thriller from filmmaker Ruth Du, as Freestyle Digital Media releases its gripping new trailer. Slated for release on November 29, 2024, Samson blends elements of dark humor, crime, and tragedy in a unique, genre-bending story that promises to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

The film follows the chaotic journey of Emma (played by Alice Lee) and Dale (Ryan Dance), a couple who have recently broken up but are forced to reunite under the most unexpected and dangerous circumstances. When the two are kidnapped by two masked men, Drew and Joe, they must work together to escape their terrifying captors while navigating their unresolved emotions and fractured relationship.

Told through a fractured timeline and multiple perspectives, Samson weaves a narrative that keeps viewers guessing as it explores themes of betrayal, survival, and unexpected alliances. The film's blend of dark comedy and crime thriller elements makes it a unique experience — described as a "Shakespearean Reservoir Dogs" with a musical number thrown in for good measure. It’s a wild, genre-bending adventure that plays with the expectations of both the crime thriller and dark comedy genres, offering moments of tension and surprising levity.

In addition to Alice Lee and Ryan Dance, Samson stars Will Brittain and Emilio Garcia-Sanchez in key roles, bringing depth to the film’s cast of complex characters. Their performances complement the film's multilayered narrative and help bring to life its intense yet darkly comic atmosphere.

The screenplay, written by David Harry Yoon and Ruth Du, combines sharp dialogue with unpredictable plot twists, making Samson an intriguing addition to the thriller-comedy genre.

The film is slated for November 29th, 2024 release.
