A24’s new movie, “The Drama,” is being criticized by some gun safety advocates who say the studio should have done more to warn audiences about the dark plot at the center of the film.

The movie, which is being released in North American theaters on Friday, follows soon-to-be newlyweds Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Robert Pattinson), who grapple with how to proceed with their upcoming nuptials after the bride-to-be confesses the “worst thing” she’s ever done: plan a school shooting as a teen.
