HOUSTON – Sept. 11, 2025 – Relentless Entertainment proudly announces the official Tubi premiere of ‘Deadly Escape,’ a suspense thriller written and directed by Lakisha R. Lemons and executive produced by Sean Blaze Henderson.

Now streaming free on Tubi, ‘Deadly Escape’ marks a major milestone for Texas-based independent film. The thriller, which recently earned Lemons the Writer of the Year award at the Houston Association of Producers (HAPIE) Awards, tells the story of a woman on the run who finds herself trapped in a far more dangerous situation than the one she left behind.

With gripping performances from Isaiah Vaughn, Dee Hill, Dakarai Akil, and Larissa Dali, the film balances raw emotion with edge-of-your-seat twists.

“In a world where survival often comes at a cost, this story asks how far would you go to escape the past? ‘Deadly Escape’ isn’t just about danger; it’s about identity, trauma, and the stories we carry in silence,” Lemons said. “Creating this film in Houston was deeply personal. I hope its release sparks more opportunities for local voices to be seen and heard on a national stage.”

‘Deadly Escape’ is written and directed by Lakisha R. Lemons, with Sean Henderson serving as executive producer and post-production supervisor in a joint collaboration with Relentless Entertainment. Designed with minimal locations and a suspenseful, performance-driven structure, the film delivers the kind of edge-of-your-seat experience modern streaming audiences crave.
