We’ve had chainsaws, axes
and other “cutting-edge” weapons, but on Oct. 7 Midnight Releasing’s Brain
Damage Films label will be using a bit of blunt force drama to run up the body
count. That’s the DVD debut date for
the directing team of John B Sovie II and Kristian Hanson’s Sledge.
They know their horror
films as Sledge begins with your standard genre-film set-up that
includes a victim pool, a remote location and a homicidal maniac. As they, the campers (aka: fresh supply of
victims), sit around the campfire drinking a few beers, one of them, Alex
(Dustin Bowman) graciously gives us the backstory on the local legend of Adam
Lynch.
It seems that Adam is
backwoods local who just snapped one day, put on a mask (which makes him even creepier)
and then just started bludgeoning his friends and campers to death with his
sledgehammer. He didn’t stop there … skinning his victims
and collecting heads became sort of a hobby.
Soon enough Adam
discovers the fresh supply of campers who have “invaded” his woods and sets
about “knocking” them off … the big question, as the action unfolds, will Sarah
(Stephanie Tupper) be the last the last camper standing and somehow escape the
relentless Adam!
Timed perfectly for the
Halloween promotional season, Sledge includes — as a bonus goodie
— commentary from filmmaker Kristian Hanson.
