Throw Momma from the Train
“Owen asked his friend Larry for a small favor.”
ComedyCrime
Larry Donner, an author with a cruel ex-wife, teaches a writing workshop in which one of his students, Owen, is fed up with his domineering mother. When Owen watches a Hitchcock classic that seems to mirror his own life, he decides to put the movie's plot into action and offers to kill Larry's ex-wife, if Larry promises to murder his mom. Before Larry gets a chance to react to the plan, it seems that Owen has already set things in motion.
VIBE
A hilariously awkward descent into desperation. Witness a writer's block fueled, increasingly unhinged plot unfold with cringe-worthy stakes and darkly comedic consequences. It's a bizarre, yet compelling, character study.
