LANSING, Mich. - April 3, 2026 - PRLog -- From Collective Development Inc. and McGraw Multimedia comes a fresh, irreverent take on the horror comedy genre. The debut of the first poster and trailer for Rom Coms Must Die, an upcoming feature film that blends sharp parody and dark humor into a story that dares to ask: how far would you go chasing your dreams?
The newly released poster immediately sets the tone. It introduces filmmaking cousins Clem (Adam Towner) and Amos (DJ Perry) working to make their second feature film after the first was a flop. The plot line comes from an actual development meeting whereas the distributor was pushing mindless violence and rom coms for content creation.
At its core, Rom Coms Must Die is both a love letter to and a critique of the current state of filmmaking. It explores the formulas audiences cherish while peeling back the layers to reveal the complexities often left unspoken. The film's creative team set out to craft a story that feels both familiar and entirely new—one that invites viewers to laugh, reflect, and even reconsider what makes a "happy ending."
This film marks the debut co-starring role for Adam C. Towner who has made his mark in comedic shorts at multiple festivals. His co-star DJ Perry also the screenwriter, is no stranger to the horror genre having gotten his start with films like "In the Woods," "Bestseller," and "The 8th Plague". Early reactions to the trailer have already sparked conversation online, with viewers praising its originality, self-awareness, and tonal balance. The film appears poised to resonate with a wide audience—from longtime fans of the genre to those who have grown weary of their conventions.
Rom Coms Must Die invites audiences to reconsider everything they thought about horror and rom coms with its bold concept and genre-defying execution, it promises to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The film will start booking select theaters this Spring and will release to home video streaming in Q3 with Twin Engines Global.
