Summary

The director of LYLE and BAD THINGS is interested in what women are up to...

Episode Description

Stewart Thorndike made a splash with LYLE in 2014, establishing her as an exciting new voice in horror. Her latest film. BAD THINGS, further solidifies this, with its focus squarely on (queer) female characters who aren't afraid to be messy. In Mike Leigh's play ABIGAIL'S PARTY, filmed for television in 1977, Beverly Moss is the life of the party...whether the party wants her to be or not!

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about THEATER CAMP.

BAD THINGS is out on Shudder and MGM+ on August 18, 2023.
