Episode Details

When four friends crash a wild party that turns into a blood-soaked nightmare, they’re trapped in a mobster’s mansion with nowhere to run — and everything to lose. Directed by Nick Kozakis, “Kick On” delivers relentless, visceral action that feels like “John Wick on meth,” powered by real stunts, brutal practical effects, and raw, human fear. Kozakis strips away spectacle to focus on the characters’ terror and choices, making their descent into chaos feel deeply personal. With a childhood stuntman cast as a key fighter and prosthetics so real they’re destroyed on set, the film’s physicality is its soul. Beneath the gore lies a story about how chance and instinct can unravel lives — especially for Eden and Ray, whose pasts haunt them in the present. After his psychological thriller “Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism,” Kozakis proves he’s ready for bigger, bolder adventures — and “Kick On” is just the start. Set for release in Australia and New Zealand, with global distribution by Blue Finch Films.
