TRAILER

BLACK WIDOWS

After Darcy is date raped, she and her friends Nora and Olivia band together to inflict a seemingly harmless revenge prank on the rapist. But the prank goes awry when he accidentally dies and they unwittingly set into motion a cataclysmic chain of events that result in the deaths of each of their lovers.

Black Widows explores female kinship and the dark humor behind tragedy because even if you can’t laugh about it, you can laugh in spite of it if you have the right people in your life.
