Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders (2026)

Step into the shadows of cinema history with “Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders,” a deep dive into the firestorm ignited by William Friedkin’s 1980 thriller, “Cruising.” The film sparked fierce backlash from the LGBTQ+ community, who condemned its depiction of a killer stalking gay men through New York’s leather bar scene. Friedkin found his dark muse in the real-life, brutal slaying of Variety journalist Addison Verrill, deliberately smudging the line between Hollywood horror and devastating reality.
