The Dark Horse isn’t exactly new. It’s been out since 2014 and is available on iTunes. Nice film.
It’s also available with an add on subscription via Amazon Prime.

Thanks for the heads up! I might go if it is coming to theaters again though. I didn’t catch it the first time, and the trailer looks cool!

Have you read the book The Grass Arena by John Healy?

I have not heard of it.
