A24 is one of the most well-regarded distributors of genre films out there these days, and on August 11th they’ll be bringing the murder mystery Medusa Deluxe to VOD and select theatres. One month out from the release date, a trailer for Medusa Deluxe has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.
The feature directorial debut of Thomas Hardiman, Medusa Deluxe has the following synopsis: Talented, ambitious, and backstabbing hairstylists gather for a competition in England, only to find one of their own murdered before judging can begin. Winding through neon-lit halls and backstage dressing rooms, competitors unspool long-simmering resentments and secrets as they search for the killer among them in this devilishly funny whodunit.
The film stars Clare Perkins (The Outlaws), Kayla Meikle (The Girl Before), Lilit Lesser (To Nowhere), Anita-Joy Uwajeh (Vampire Academy), Kae Alexander (Game of Thrones), Harriet Webb (I May Destroy You), Darrell D’Silva (Wrath of Man), Heider Ali (Death on the Nile), Luke Pasqualino (Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome), Nicholas Karimi (Saving Christmas Spirit), Michelle Parker (A Small Light), Mitesh Soni (A Christmas Number One), John Alan Roberts (A Light Through Coloured Glass), and newcomers Debris Stevenson and David Whicker.
Previous releases from A24 include X, Pearl, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Men, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Lamb, The Green Knight, Saint Maud, The Witch, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, Midsommar, It Comes at Night, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Tusk, Green Room, Ex Machina, Life After Beth, Under the Skin, and many more. Their upcoming projects include Problemista and Crystal Lake, a Friday the 13th TV series that’s in development at the Peacock streaming service.

I don’t check out every A24 release, but they have distributed several movies that I have enjoyed, and Medusa Deluxe looks to me like it might be one to check out. I wouldn’t head out to see it on the big screen, but it’s a VOD possibility.
