The Trejo is back, and this time he’s battling something much worse than Robert De Niro; it’s PROJECT X27! What is it? A man-made monster created by a drug kingpin, of course!
AFM brings us news of this delightful ditty, as well as a blurry promo one-sheet and the synopsis (some research indicates that it used to be called THE DEVIL INSIDE). We’ve also got a beyond-cheesy promo trailer for the film below; for at least the first half of it you wouldn’t know it’s a monster movie at all. That’s okay though, it still looks like adequately amusing late-night viewing.
The rundown:
A deserted luxury resort owned by a drug kingpin serves as the top secret hiding place for a huge cache of cocaine. Wracked with paranoia, the drug dealer contacts a scientist to construct a horrifying monster to guard the stash and repel any trespassers.
This sinister status quo continues until one day, a series of unsuspecting visitors begin arriving at the resort, converging in an unwitting meeting with a grisly collective fate. The apprehension mounts as one by one, the visitors begin disappearing. With explosive tension set against an exotic beachside locale, Project X27 is a south-of-the-border thrill ride that leaves no one behind.
Louis Freese, Elika Crespo, Joey Medina, Carla Sanchez, Dyana Ortelli, Richmond Arquette all star alongside Trejo.
