IFC has released the official trailer for the revenge thriller film Violent Ends, an independent project written and directed by John-Michael Powell. This film marks Powell’s second feature and is set to hit limited theaters starting on October 31, 2025, coinciding with Halloween.
Violent Ends is a southern crime thriller that follows the story of Lucas Frost, portrayed by Billy Magnussen. Lucas, an honest man raised in a violent crime family, seeks to build a peaceful life with his fiancée, Emma, played by Alexandra Shipp. However, his plans are disrupted when his cousin, Eli, commits an armed robbery that leads to devastating consequences.
The film also features performances by James Badge Dale, Kate Burton, Ray McKinnon, and Nick Stahl. Although it resembles other crime stories set in small towns, the trailer suggests a compelling narrative. Violent Ends, previously titled The Killing Kind, is produced by Undine Buka and Vincent Sieber. As of now, it has not premiered at any film festivals.
Fans of the genre can look forward to seeing Violent Ends in select theaters this fall.
