Crime Thriller ‘The Last Stop in Yuma County’ Heads to Streaming Next Week

Writer-director Francis Galluppi will soon battle Kandarian demons as the director for one of two upcoming Evil Dead films. Next month, his feature directorial debut, The Last Stop in Yuma County, heads to streaming.

Galluppi’s ultra-fun violent crime thriller heads to Paramount+ with Showtime on April 1, 2025.

In the film, “While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty—or cold, hard steel—to protect their bloodstained, ill-begotten fortune.”

The Last Stop in Yuma County boasts an impressive ensemble cast that includes Jim Cummings,  Jocelin Donahue, Richard Brake, Faizon Love,  Alex Essoe, Michael Abbott Jr., Sierra McCormick, Nicholas Logan, Sam Huntington, Connor Paolo, Robin Bartlett, Jon Proudstar, Ryan Masson, Barbara Crampton, and Gene Jones.

It’s a solid, twisty, and funny film worth seeking out. I wrote in my review that The Last Stop in Yuma County is “bustling with life and boisterous personalities, reflective on screen in every facet.” And, “Galluppi makes it so effortlessly easy to get sucked into this slick, singular world and invest in its characters, only for the filmmaker to revel in dispatching them.”

While it may not be horror, the film’s dark, violent sense of humor makes it easy to see why it caught the attention of Ghost House Pictures. 

“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence. He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut,” producer Sam Raimi previously said.

Catch up on the film that impressed Evil Dead originator Sam Raimi enough to hire the filmmaker for a new Evil Dead movie when it begins streaming next week.
