An action-packed thriller where 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.

Directed by Vicky Jewson, the film stars Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, Millicent Simmonds and Uma Thurman.

“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 teamwork, sisterhood and ballet-fu in order to stay alive. Dance like your life depends on it!” said Vicky Jewson, Director.

The film has its World Premiere at the SXSW Film Festival. Streaming Globally on Prime Video March 25, 2026
