You've heard the phrase “If looks could kill,” but have you heard “If dancing could kill?” Pretty Lethal takes that idea and runs with it. Directed by Vicky Jewson, the film follows five ballerinas selected to perform in a prestigious ballet competition in Budapest. But on their way there, their bus breaks down, leaving them stranded in the middle of a forest.
Desperate for help, they stumble upon an inn that, at first glance, seems almost too perfect— with ballerina themed decor and classical music. There, they meet Devora Kasimer (played by Uma Thurman), a legendary prima ballerina, along with her sons, who run the inn. Everything feels strangely welcoming… until it’s not.
