The action-packed thriller Pretty Lethal will be streaming globally on Prime Video as of March 25th – and one month out from that date, a trailer for the film has arrived online! You can check it out in the embed above.

Cast and Synopsis

Promising “blood, sweat and tutus,” Pretty Lethal centers on five ballerinas who are on their way to a prestigious dance competition and barely on speaking terms when their bus breaks down in a remote forest. With no other options, they reluctantly seek shelter at an unsettling roadside inn run by Devora Kasimer (Uma Thurman), a reclusive former ballet prodigy. From the moment they arrive, something feels wrong—and their worst instincts prove right. As the situation turns deadly, the fractured team must set aside rivalries and weaponize years of brutal training, turning grace, discipline, and even pointe shoes into tools for survival. The film was directed by Vicky Jewson (The Witcher: Blood Origin) from a screenplay by Kate Freund (Afterlife).

Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) is joined in the cast by Iris Apatow (The Bubble), Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place), Avantika (Mean Girls), Maddie Ziegler (Music), Michael Culkin (Surprised by Oxford), and Lydia Leonard (Down Cemetery Road).

Pretty Lethal was produced by Kelly McCormick, Mike Karz, William Bindley, and Piers Tempest.

Statement

Vicky Jewison provided the following statement: “In Pretty Lethal, I wanted to bring the highly specific skillset of a ballerina to the action space. We created a world built on the broken dreams of a dancer, played by the iconic Uma Thurman. This world and our incredible young cast gave me the freedom to swing between horror, comedy and action to create a breathless rollercoaster ride. The troupe embraces team work, sisterhood and ballet-fu in order to stay alive. Dance like your life depends on it!
