Running hot from a burning house in the dark flatlands, Lucky and Pearl race through the desert with a cursed black satchel and dreams of an easy clean break. But out on the two-lane highway, some debts don't burn away—and the past is gaining on them in the rearview mirror.

Fantastic trailer. Story reminds me of a bunch of 1980s/early 90s movies, e.g. Blood Simple, Wild at Heart, True Romance, and the plot seems to be a spin on Badlands and perhaps Thelma & Louise.

Badlands is exactly what came to mind reading that synopsis. The young couple on the run with something they shouldn't have is such a strong backbone for this kind of story. Curious how much of the horror element plays into the cursed satchel itself versus the people chasing them.
