Promotion (2026)
Director: Philip Di Matteo
Cast: Cristian Wadsworth Vargas, Haroon Siddiqui, Angela Alcano, Julia Di Ruscio, Amanda Lacivita
Did you know? In a dark nod to corporate satire, the film’s director initially pitched the concept as a literal interpretation of "killing the competition," but rewrote the script after test audiences laughed uncomfortably at the HR manual parody scenes.
Why Watch: In a career landscape where backstabbing is often metaphorical, *Promotion* dares to make it literal—and the result is a darkly hilarious, edge-of-your-seat thriller that redefines workplace ambition. Daniel’s moral descent from cubicle drone to potential killer is both uncomfortably relatable and wildly entertaining, blending sharp satire with genuine suspense. If you’ve ever felt your job demands your soul, watch this movie to see just how far one man will go for a corner office.
Daniel gets the promotion of a lifetime—but only if he eliminates his closest coworker. To climb the corporate ladder, he must first take a life.
