The sordid lives of small-time criminals collide when an organ harvesting caper goes very, very wrong.
LOWLIFE is Ryan Prows’ cult debut feature, a gonzo crime thriller hailed by audiences and critics alike. "The lean, brutal, surprisingly affecting package of Ryan Prows' Lowlife is a seriously nasty treat." - The Hollywood Reporter
LOWLIFE played festivals worldwide, winning an Audience Award and Cheval Noir Special Jury Prize for “Audaciousness, energy, and perfectly embodying the anarchic Fantasia spirit” at its 2017 Fantasia Film Festival World Premiere. The film also won top prizes for “Best Film”, “Best Director”, and “Best Actor” at its U.S. Premiere at Cinepocalypse 2017.
LOWLIFE was released theatrically through IFC Midnight. Shout! Factory released the film on Blu-ray / DVD, with Lakeshore Records and Invada Records handling the Original Soundtrack and Vinyl releases by Kreng, respectively.
LOWLIFE made several Best of the Year and Top Ten lists, and drew favorable comparisons to the early work of Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino himself called the film “a real stroke of genius” and praised its writing and originality. Seriously.
