Get ready for a dose of delightful domestic chaos, because Briarcliff Entertainment has officially announced the release date for the highly anticipated thriller comedy, Drag! This wildly offbeat feature promises a thrilling ride centered on sibling rivalry, physical pain, and some truly chaotic family bonds.
The film brings together an impressive cast, including the magnetic presence of John Stamos, alongside Lucy DeVito, Christine Ko, and Lizzy Caplan. For those familiar with Caplan, she recently made a splash by joining Rob Mac’s upcoming live-action Far Cry TV series for FX, adding another layer of intrigue to this cinematic venture.
At its heart, Drag follows two estranged sisters who decide to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What starts as a simple burglary quickly spirals into a nightmarish ordeal. The situation takes a sharp and painful turn when one sister is thrown out of her back and immobilized on the second floor, forcing them both into an increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.
The official synopsis paints a picture of pure, kinetic mayhem: “As tensions rise and panic sets in, the sisters are forced into a painful and increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.” It is equal parts tense thriller and physical comedy, exploring the raw dynamics of sibling rivalry under extreme duress.
The creative team behind the project brings a unique sensibility to the mayhem. The movie is written and directed by Greg Yagolnitzer and Raviv Ullman, setting the stage for a story that balances high stakes with genuinely funny physical comedy.
Beyond the stellar cast, the production values are bolstered by a powerhouse creative team. Lucy DeVito is not only starring in the film but is also producing alongside Danny DeVito and Jake DeVito through their Jersey Films 2nd Avenue banner. Executive production duties are shared among Caplan, Stamos, Robyn J. Davis, David Pomier, Andrew Zolot, and Elizabeth Niles.
Mark your calendars: Drag is scheduled to arrive in theaters on January 29, 2027. This film has already garnered significant critical attention, receiving a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes following its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival.
Drag is set to join a lineup of other exciting releases, pitting it against action thrillers like Karoshi and The Rescue. It will debut in the same month as popular titles such as The Beekeeper 2, Children of Blood and Bone, and Animal Friends, promising a packed slate for early 2027.
