What timing! We just wrote about JT Perry’s return to directing with a project called HELLBENDERS, and now we’ve got an exclusive green-band trailer for his long-awaited S&MAN (pronounced “Sandman”) for your eyes only. This flick was made a few years ago, but it’s obviously had a time of it trying to come out on home video. Now, thanks to Magnet Releasing, it’s getting that chance, as it’s hitting stores next week, on OCTOBER 12th.
What’s this sucker about? When cult-favorite horror filmmaker JT Petty ventures into the dark world
of underground horror, things don t exactly go as planned. As he examines the comparison between filmmaking and voyeurism within the horror genre, he uncovers a collective of filmmakers, deviants, and self-professed possible murderers. The most notorious underground film series he
discovers is called S&MAN, produced by the unassuming and creepy Eric Rost. The more Petty digs into his subject, the more Eric withdraws, claiming a desire to protect his “creative vision.” But Petty begins to suspect that the real reason may be that Eric’s “actors” are in fact “victims,” placing the filmmaker in dangerous territory and making S&MAN the most unsettling horror experience in years.
It should be known that while the film pretends to be a documentary, it’s not; it’s a cleverly designed mockumentary in the mold of MAN BITES DOG. So don’t get all up in arms. Looks pretty sick too… If you’re struck by what you see, pre-order S&Man right HERE on DVD or HERE on Blu-ray.
