Synopsis
Burning Palms (2010) is an American dark comedy-thriller anthology directed by Christopher Landon — watch it online on iFILM. Five stories, five Los Angeles neighborhoods, one through-line: the shiny surface and whatever is rotting underneath it.
Each segment takes a different taboo and pushes until the comedy tips into discomfort: obsession, sexual manipulation, guilt, complicity. The cast rotates through — Zoe Saldana, Rosamund Pike, Lake Bell, Dylan McDermott, Shannen Doherty — and the shifting roster keeps the film from flattening into a single tone.
The tagline is "Five Tales That Will F#%! You Up For Life," which is either a promise or a warning. This was Landon's directorial debut, and he commits to the dark endings rather than softening them — which is either a compliment or a disclaimer, depending on your mood. Watch Burning Palms (2010) online on iFILM.
