Set to double-pump on the masses May 6th is Jason Eisner’s hyper-violent low-budget ditty HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, which our man E.Dub liked well enough, The Arrow not so much. By the way, I suppose now’s as good a time as any to let you know that the man, the myth, the hobo, Rutger Hauer will be stopping by on tomorrow’s edition of the AITH Podcast. Be sure to tune in to that sucker in the morn!
In the meantime, we have a nice bag of HOBO schwag for you to get down with. Not only has Apple pressed a new trailer for the film, we also have two coolly stylized new posters for the grindhouse inspired exploitation joint. All below yo, so scroll it already!
Also featuring Gregory Smith, Molly Dunsworth, Brian Downey, Nick Bateman, and Jeremy Akerman – HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN commences as:
A train pulls into its final station and a Hobo hops from a freight car. He has dreams of a fresh life in a new city, but finds himself trapped in an urban hell instead. A city where criminals rule the streets, landlords evict single mothers in the middle of the night, and where the city’s crime boss, The Drake, reigns supreme with his sadistic, homeless-killing sons, Slick & Ivan. Through the chaos, the Hobo comes across a shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower and a shotgun, and decides it’s time to cut the grass, make the city beautiful and start a new way of life. But after witnessing the brutality that encompasses this city, he realizes the only way to make a difference in this place is with a gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
The flick, aside from screening in limited release May 6th, will be available this Friday (April 1st) via VOD.
