Get ready to sink your teeth into something new! Filmmaker Ryan Prows is back with a ferocious, action-packed vampire cop thriller that’s about to hit theaters, Night Patrol. This highly anticipated film, with a theatrical release set for January, promises to be a wild ride, and we’ve got all the details and a new killer poster to get you excited.
Prows, known for his unique and gritty style, has assembled an incredible cast for this film. We’re talking about a killer lineup that includes Justin Long, hot off the heels of starring in Coyotes. Long is joined by Jermaine Fowler, RJ Cyler, Freddie Gibbs, and even wrestling legend CM Punk and rapper YG. The cast also features Flying Lotus, Dermot Mulroney, Jon Oswald, and Nicki Micheaux, ensuring a diverse and talented ensemble.
The story drops us into the heart of Los Angeles. An LAPD officer has to team up with the very street gangs he’s been policing. Why?

It’s a high-stakes, action-packed plot that forces him to confront his past and fight for the community he grew up in.
The movie made its World Premiere at Fantastic Fest and then hit Beyond Fest, and has already begun to make a name for itself as a “must-see” movie.
Prows, behind Lowlife and V/H/S/94, co-wrote the screenplay with Shaye Ogbonna, Tim Cairo, and Jake Gibson. The movie is from RLJE Films and Shudder. Get ready, Night Patrol bares its fangs in theaters on January 16, 2026, from IFC Films and Shudder.
