news the other day concerning that creepy little flick from The Butcher
Brothers; THE HAMILTONS.
THE HAMILTONS, which
originally appeared in the After Dark Horror Festival will be hitting
shelves March 27, courtesy of Lions Gate entertainment.
The film is
about a picture-perfect suburban family who harbours a particularly dark secret.
When their parents are killed in a tragic accident, eldest Hamilton sibling
David relocates the surviving family members to a quiet California suburb and
assumes the responsibility of caring for his orphaned siblings Wendell , Darlene
, and Francis. While twins Wendell and Darlene seem to share a bizarre bond that
separates them from the rest of the siblings, Francis acquires a video camera
that previously belonged to his deceased parents and sets out preparing a school
project about his family. As the all-seeing lens of Francis’ roving camera
begins to reveal that something malevolent is going on inside the Hamilton’s
picturesque abode and his reluctant siblings find their decidedly unconventional
existence suddenly threatened, the youngest sibling is forced to choose between
following his family into a murderous tradition or sparing the lives of future
victims by betraying the only people who ever seemed to care for him.
The film looks awesome and I can’t
wait to see it. As far as technical stuff goes, the DVD will contain deleted
scenes, bloopers, and an audio commentary by The Butcher Brothers and actor Cory
Knauf (Francis).
