Fresh off a relatively quiet Sundance screening is the Butcher Brothers’ new horror nasty THE VIOLENT KIND, which appears to have just landed itself a spiffy international one-sheet. The sleek black simplicity, the faux-frame, the references to horror royalty…what about that shite doesn’t ooze first-rate classiness? Seriously…
Looking to lock a release date any day now, THE VIOLENT KIND goes something like this:
Troubled Cody, a second-generation member of a violent and notorious Nor-Cal biker gang, rides out with his friends to party at a cabin located deep within the redwood forest. At the end of the wild evening, things take a turn for the worse when Cody’s ex-girlfriend Michelle is discovered wandering aimlessly and covered in blood, screaming and convulsing as if she were possessed by something unworldly. Cody and the others try desperately to help Michelle while stuck in the middle of nowhere, but their plans are quickly ruined when another malicious gang, seemingly from the 1950s, shows up “looking for a few kicks…the violent kind.” However, this ominous “Rockabilly” gang is not there to pick a fight. They want what’s mysteriously growing inside of Michelle – something very evil and powerful – and they will stop at nothing to get it!
