Ryan Nicholson impressed a lot of independent horror fans in 2008 with GUTTERBALLS. Since the slasher throwback worked so well, he has revisited the formula with latest picture, FAMINE. Check out the gore-filled, grindhouse-style trailer below, along with the poster. Here is the synopsis:
Two years after a high-school prank involving flesh-eating acid nearly kills popular teacher Mr. Balszack, the graduating class of Sloppy Secondary holds a ’24-Hour Famine’ charity event on school grounds. But there’s an uninvited guest at this event, masquerading as the school’s handyman mascot, and he’s got an insatiable hunger of his own. The power’s cut, the doors and windows are chained shut, and now it’s not just cheerleaders who are getting nailed! Has Mr. Balszack come back for revenge? Is his sad tale just a cover for a brand-new psycho? Can the Nailer be stopped before the whole Class of 2011 goes six feet under?
The film is a co-production between Plotdigger Films and New Image Entertainment. Jeff O’Brien (BONE DRY) penned the script with Nicholson. The flick is expected to hit DVD this fall. Who’s ready to get nailed?
