Samara Weaving is having a moment. Fresh off her turn as Emma Frost in the X-Men universe, the Ready or Not star has been keeping busy with a string of compelling projects. Among them is Carolina Caroline, a gritty crime romance that pairs her with Kyle Gallner and Kyra Sedgwick. Directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier, the film is set in the American Southeast and offers a rustic, captivating look at love and larceny. And now, you can bring it home—the movie hits Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on August 25.
To celebrate the home release, we've got an exclusive sneak peek that shows Weaving's Caroline getting a crash course in the family business from Gallner's Oliver. The clip is a masterclass in the art of the con: count fast, skip numbers, and use the confusion to pocket extra cash. It's a simple trick, but in the 1990s setting, there weren't all the digital safeguards we have today, so Oliver and Caroline can pull it off with style. Watching them work is both charming and a little nerve-wracking—exactly what you want from a crime thriller.
The film's official synopsis teases: "Acclaimed director Adam Carter Rehmeier’s romantic crime thriller stars Samara Weaving as Caroline Daniels, whose desire to leave her small Texas town brings her into the orbit of a charismatic con man, and together they weave a path of crime and passion across the American Southeast." The movie also features a soundtrack packed with country legends like Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, and Loretta Lynn, adding another layer of authenticity to the Southern setting.
Weaving has become a fan favorite in horror circles, but 2026 has proven she's far more than a scream queen. While Ready or Not 2: Here I Come reminded audiences of her knack for survival, she also flexed her comedic muscles in Over Your Dead Body opposite Jason Segel. Carolina Caroline, which hit theaters in June, shows off her range in a completely different genre—one that blends romance, crime, and a healthy dose of Southern grit.
For those who love a good thriller, heart-pounding suspense is always in style, and Carolina Caroline delivers. The chemistry between Weaving and Gallner is electric, and the film's slow-burn tension keeps you hooked until the final frame. It's a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and character-driven stories.
If you're looking for more under-the-radar gems, you might also enjoy this overlooked western thriller that's found new life on Tubi. And for those who appreciate a good con, these thriller trilogies are worth a binge.
Carolina Caroline is now available on Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD. Don't miss your chance to see Weaving and Gallner at their most charismatic—and most dangerous.
