As a writer and/or director, Paul Schrader has brought us a lot of thrills and dark stories over the years, including Taxi Driver, Rolling Thunder, Cat People, First Reformed, and The Card Counter. Now he has teamed up with director Alfonso Pineda Ulloa (Demon Inside) to craft the action thriller There Are No Saints, which will be receiving a theatrical, digital, and On Demand release courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Saban Films on May 27th. In anticipation of that release date, we’re proud to share an EXCLUSIVE clip from There Are No Saints that you can get to through the embed above.
