One of my favorite parts of the festival journey has been the audience reactions to S.O.S. ().

Tonight I wanted to share comments from viewers who saw the film during SpillFest, and I have to say that the community had me cracking up. 😆 Their reactions, theories, observations, and commentary were a reminder that stories truly come alive when they’re experienced together… and why I love movies.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the best way to experience S.O.S. is with an audience. Every crowd finds different moments to laugh at, cringe over, and discuss afterward. That’s part of the fun.

🆘🎬 Would You Take the Cure?

That's the question at the heart of S.O.S., an award-winning thriller that has audiences laughing, cringing, gasping, and debating long after the film ends.

When Evan, a real estate agent struggling with allergies for a solution, meets the mysterious Rapper S.O.S., he's offered something that seems too good to be true:

A cure.

But every cure comes with a cost.

Watch the official trailer and decide for yourself:

❓ Would you take the cure?
