Somehow we missed this badboy even though it’s been floating around for a few weeks: the one-sheet for the truckload of awesomeness known as HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN. (Hey, we aren’t perfect; and we did bring you these gnarly lobby cards). Better late than never, is what I always say! I like the old-fashioned feel of it, even though it’s not the greatest of photoshop jobs… Not that I’m one to criticize on that front.

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.

Directed by Jason Eisener, HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN will shoot your privates off next year.
