Pretty Lethal Synopsis

"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."

Here is Jewson on the film: "In Pretty Lethal, I wanted to bring the highly specific skillset of a ballerina to the action space," said Jewson. "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."

This looks like a ton of fun, and as the parent of a ballerina, A lot of this is going to hit home and be extra funny to see unfold. Pretty Lethal hits Prime Video on March 25.
