Period thriller The Riot Act gets a poster and trailer

August 10, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its theatrical release next month, a new trailer and poster have arrived online for writer-director Devon Parks’ upcoming period thriller The Riot Act which stars Brett Cullen, Lauren Sweetser, Connor Price, Micah Hauptman, and Brandon Keener; check them out here…

Two years after a quiet murder involving a traveling stage actor and a local physician’s daughter, an esteemed Opera House welcomes a Vaudevillian troupe from the East for its first performances since the tragedy; and along with it, an unidentified actress seeking revenge. With tensions still thick surrounding past events, this mysterious performer discovers she isn’t the only one seeking revenge: someone or something has been haunting the assailant already. When the two conspirers uncover each other’s secrets, they must decide if their dual efforts will better subdue the killer after all.
