from In The Seats with... · host David Voigt

It takes a village to make a major motion picture....On this special episode we dive head first into the brand new film playing now on Prime Video.  It's time for 'Pretty Lethal'.Five ballerinas, on their way to a prestigious dance competition, are 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. 'Pretty Lethal' is a meticulous cinematic experience as we slip into the point shoes of these ballerina as they kick all kinds of ass in order to survive.  We had the pleasure of sitting down with Editor Richard Smither who gives us some insight on the art of editing and making sure that the character is always staying strong in the midst of the spectacle.'Pretty Lethal' is on Prime Video now.
