“Is there any chance you won’t kill me?” Saban Films has revealed the official trailer for In Cold Light, a crime thriller from Canadian filmmaker Maxime Giroux. This premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival and will be out in limited release starting in January early in the New Year. In a city pulsing with the surreal chaos of an urban rodeo, Ava is fresh out of prison and ready to take back what’s hers. But as she sets her plan in motion to reclaim her drug empire, she witnesses the unthinkable: the brutal murder of her brother. Forced to flee into a nightmarish underworld where allies are scarce & enemies multiply by the minute, Ava must fight to stay alive — and figure out who set her up — before the killers find her first. Starring Maika Monroe, Troy Kotsur, Helen Hunt, & Allan Hawco. It’s a bit strange this character Monroe is playing is quite similar to the character she’s playing (fresh out of prison) in her other 2026 film Reminders of Him out next year, too. It looks like an instantly forgettable thriller despite the great cast. Not much to see here.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Maxime Giroux’s thriller In Cold Light, direct from YouTube:

Fresh out of prison, Ava (Maika Monroe) fights to reclaim her drug empire but is framed for murder, then hunted by cops and a ruthless crime boss (Helen Hunt). Forced to face her estranged father (Troy Kotsur), she battles betrayal & bloodshed to survive. In Cold Light is directed by Quebecois writer / filmmaker Maxime Giroux, director of the films Demain, Jo for Jonathan, Felix and Meira, The Great Darkened Days, Norbourg, and the series “Plan B”. The screenplay is written by Patrick Whistler. Produced by Mike MacMillan and Yanick Létourneau. This first premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. Saban Films will debut Giroux’s In Cold Light in select US theaters starting January 23rd, 2025 early next year. Anyone?
