What you’re going to find over the next few months are a trend of romance movies leaning into horror or true-crime. Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour sort of falls into that, but you’ve also got upcoming films such as Heart Eyes, and the Lucy Hale thriller, F Marry Kill, which has just debuted a new trailer.
Hale stars as Eva, a true crime enthusiast caught in the dating app scene, who begins to suspect that the man she’s dating is actually the serial killer behind a string of murders publicized on her favorite podcast.
Kinda sounds painfully of-the-moment, right? But still, it could make for a fun thriller during this dreadfully serious time of year. The film also stars Virginia Gardner (Runaways FTW!!!), Jedidiah Goodacre, Samer Salem, JayR Tinaco, Brendan Morgan, Brooke Nevin, and Bethany Brown. Laura Murphy directs from a script by Ivan Diaz and Meghan Brown.
F Marry Kill hits select theaters and digital on December 6th via Lionsgate.
SYNOPSIS: When true-crime junkie Eva Vaugh is shoved into the dating app world by her besties on her 30th birthday, she suddenly finds herself at the center of a real-life murder case. As new details about the murders are revealed on her favorite podcast, she realizes that one of the three men she’s dating could be the infamous ‘Swipe Right Killer’ terrorizing the city. Now it’s up to Eva and her ride-or-die friends to figure out which date is a f***boy, a potential husband, or a killer in this comedy-thriller.
