Bleecker Street has locked down U.S. rights to Buzzkill, a new horror-comedy starring Billy Magnussen (Lilo & Stitch) and Lulu Wilson (The Wrath of Becky) that shoots in Texas early next year. They’ve slated the film for release in theaters nationwide in 2027.
Directed by Joe Lynch (Suitable Flesh), Buzzkill is billed as a monster movie with a boozy twist. Magnussen plays Sheriff Red, who while recently widowed and struggling with drinking too much, launches an investigation as townspeople begin turning up murdered and dismembered.

With the annual brewery festival approaching and the entire town preparing for a weekend of heavy drinking, Red must confront his demons to save his town.
