An LAPD officer must bridge differences with local street gangs when he uncovers a covert police task force that guards a horrific secret threatening the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.

And here’s the fresh poster for the movie.

“Night Patrol is a bold, high-stakes horror-thriller anchored by a powerhouse ensemble and heart-pounding tension,” stated Mark Ward, RLJE Films’ chief acquisitions officer. “The blend of community grit, suspense, and relentless intensity, guided by Ryan Prows, marks a dream-come-true moment for us as we approach its premiere.” Prows himself expressed enthusiasm: “Partnering with RLJE and Shudder to bring Night Patrol to theaters is a thrill. It’s been a long journey, and we couldn’t have asked for a stronger team to help push this wild rollercoaster of a film to audiences.”

Festival reception
The movie premiered to positive notices at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest, where RLJE Films and Shudder quickly snapped up distribution rights. Fans of the director’s previous work are likely to be excited about this release, and CM Punk’s involvement adds an extra layer of buzz.
