I was able to have a conversation with actors Kaylee McGregor, Joey Bader and Oliver Woolf about their new film LITTERMATES. We spoke about what they connected with when they read Scott Tinkham's screenplay. How they each prepared to portray their characters. This being a film partially about a post-apocalyptic world - showcasing the perils and dangerous of such a setting - one of the actors disappeared from zoom....hopefully they make it back.
Award-winning absurdist horror film LITTERMATES (Drafthouse Exclusives) will release theatrically NEXT WEEK in Alamo theaters in major cities on November 6, 2026. This award-winning film was a recent selection of Fantastic Fest 2026.
Alamo theaters/ cities theatrically releasing the film for a full one week run include: New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Omaha, Raleigh, San Antonio, San Francisco, Twin Cities and more.
Set against the backdrop of a mysterious war, LITTERMATES follows two disoriented survivors who take refuge at an isolated cottage in the English countryside. After Liam (Joey Bader) and Mel (Kaylee McGregor) arrive bloodied, speechless, and unable to fully understand what has happened to them, they are taken in by Chester (Oliver Woolf), an enigmatic caretaker who bathes, feeds, and teaches them how to speak again.
As sirens, smoke, and distant threats press closer, Liam and Mel go about their days relearning the simplest tasks inside Chester’s carefully controlled world, while earning “nifties” for good behavior that can be traded for small comforts like karaoke, hot tub time, dance parties, and favorite meals. However, unlike Liam, Mel is far less willing to accept the boundaries of the cottage, growing increasingly drawn to the woods, the locked gate, and the larger world Chester insists is too dangerous to enter.
When Mel's curiosity pushes past Chester’s rules, the fragile order of the cottage is tested; exposing the fear, loyalty, and unanswered questions holding their makeshift family together.
Here is our conversation:
