Pretty Lethal

A closer look at the story

A group of young ballerinas sets off to take part in a major dance competition. When their bus breaks down along the way, however, they find themselves stuck in the middle of nowhere. Looking for shelter, the dancers reach an isolated and unsettling inn by the roadside. What first seems like a safe haven quickly turns into a deadly trap, and as the girls try to get away, they are forced to fight for their lives. The ballet training they have pursued with discipline for years unexpectedly becomes their greatest weapon. In this thriller, grace and violence collide. Directed by Vicky Jewson and written by Kate Freund, this 89-minute 2026 action thriller stars Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Millicent Simmonds and Avantika.
