Netflix subscribers just received a massive, genre-bending cinematic treat today, Carolina Caroline, is out now, just in time for the weekend.

This thrilling new film stars fan-favorite actors Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner. Acclaimed filmmaker Adam Carter Rehmeier directed this wild, adrenaline-pumping road trip adventure. Previously, Rehmeier directed cult hits like Dinner in America and Snack Shack. Meanwhile, screenwriter Tom Dean penned this engaging, crime-filled narrative. Consequently, audiences can expect a delightfully chaotic, modern Bonnie and Clyde story.

Hunting for Answers and Stolen Cash

Initially, the storyline introduces Caroline Daniels, played brilliantly by scream queen Samara Weaving. Desperately, Caroline wants to escape her boring, suffocating small Texas town. Fortunately, her golden opportunity arrives in the form of Oliver, played by Kyle Gallner. Oliver operates as a charming, smooth-talking con man looking for trouble. Quickly, the passionate duo embarks on a romance-fueled crime spree across the Southeast. However, Caroline harbors a deeply emotional secret motive for this dangerous trip. Specifically, she hopes to finally locate the estranged mother who abandoned her. Consequently, their outlaw trek blends high-octane crime with personal family drama.
