A hold-up takes a violent turn in this Exclusive Clip from Drifter

Drifter Chris von Hoffmann

When I first wrote about director/producer Chris von Hoffmann's DRIFTER last month, I said that part of the reason why I'm interested in seeing the film is because the synopsis makes me think of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, just with cannibals in place of vampires:

A pair of outlaw brothers who seek temporary refuge in a desolate town inhabited by a family of psychotic cannibalistic lunatics.

Today we have an EXCLUSIVE CLIP to share from DRIFTER, and as this clip plays out it becomes more and more obvious that von Hoffmann and co-writer Aria Emory had FROM DUSK TILL DAWN on the brain when they were putting this idea together. Emory even plays one of the outlaw brothers, just like screenwriter Quentin Tarantino did in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN.

If DRIFTER is half as cool when it ventures into MAD MAX / THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE / THE HILLS HAVE EYES territory as that Tarantino / Robert Rodriguez collaboration was when it unleashed its vampires, then we're going to have a really fun movie to watch later this month.

XLrator Media will be releasing DRIFTER into theatres on February 24th, with a VOD and iTunes release following on the 28th.
