Whether it’s an abomination and a perversion of one of the best movies in the Bill Murray oeuvre or a great way to immerse a viewer in one of the most perfectly realized worlds brought to the silver screen (I unrepentantly love […]

If you were one of the few people who had heard of the film Khali The Killer before this week, you may have just missed out on your opportunity to catch the movie online for free.
On Tuesday, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment mistakenly uploaded the entire full-length feature film — all 1:29:46 of it! — to its YouTube channel. The company meant to upload a red-band trailer for the film, but somehow the whole thing wound up as a free-to-watch video for the entire public to see. It has since been taken down.
According to the Independent, the entirety of Khali the Killer remained up on YouTube for approximately 6 hours and was viewed around 11,000 times before being removed from Sony’s YouTube channel.
