DIRECTOR’S 

STATEMENT When the lights drop and the bass slams through the speakers, you’re not just watching a movie, you’re stepping into the craziest, most unhinged night of your life. KICK ON doesn’t ease you in. It drags you by the throat straight into a neon, blood-soaked fever dream where every second feels like the drugs just kicked in and the floor is about to drop out from under you.
