SXSW Midnight Audience Award Winner, ‘CHEAP THRILLS’ Dares You to Watch This Trailer

Drafthouse Films quickly snatched up the film Cheap Thrills after positive reception was received at its premiere at SXSW. It went on to win the SXSW Midnighter Audience Award which was claimed by Attack the Block last year. Drafthouse Films will be releasing Cheap Thrills later this year. It has taken a few months but there is finally a trailer for everyone to check out. Granted it is an international trailer, but it will do the trick. Look out for a non-spoilery review this weekend but I will let you know, this is one to keep your eyes peeled out for.
