Are you looking for a horror movie with a fresh twist? Look no further than Trim Season, slashing its way into theaters this Summer. The film blends witchcraft and weed into a bloody cocktail that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Directed by Ariel Vida, Trim Season follows a group led by Emma Bethlehem Million (Sick).
