Benjamin Stark’s chiller thriller Don’t Die makes its UK digital debut on April 27, 2026, distributed by Miracle Media.

Written by Stark and Jeremy Burgess, the film centers on Jenks (Theodus Crane), a man in desperate need of life-saving medication who sees no other option but to rob a small-town drug store. What begins as a crime of necessity spirals quickly when Jenks accidentally injures the pharmacist — setting off a chain of consequences that trap every character in an escalating no-win situation. Desperation, as the tagline suggests, is deadly.

Crane leads a cast that includes Virginia Newcomb as Julia, Joshua Burge (Buzzard) as Randy, Frank Mosley as Trevor, and Leilani Smith as Sally. The film earned attention on the festival circuit — including a slot at Panic Fest 2024 — for its tense, stripped-down storytelling and willingness to follow its premise into genuinely dark territory. At 80 minutes, it moves fast and hits hard.
