I was lucky enough to catch the premiere of Over Your Dead Body at SXSW 2026, and it’s my favorite of the festival. It’s directed by Jorma Taccone and written by Tommy Wirkola, Nick Ball, and John Niven. Samara Weaving and Jason Segel star as a married couple who have decided to kill one another

Night Patrol feels like someone took Colors (1988), Baller Blockin’ (2000), and 30 Days of Night (2007) and put them in a blender. The mix is unbalanced and chaotic, but entertaining nonetheless. Night Patrol reminds me of movies like Dead Heist (2007) and Bloodz vs. Wolvez (2006) in the best and worst ways. I love
