Indican Pictures Tabs July 2 For The DVD Release Of Writer/Director Chip Baker's Bounty Killer

Indican Pictures latest DVD release has old school meeting new tech in writer/director Chip Baker’s July 2 debut of Bounty Killer.

The film has a limited theatrical run earlier in the year and arrives on DVD with an ARR of 158 days.

This homage to Spaghetti Westerns — even to the point of filming it on location in Tabernas, Almeria and Andalucia, Spain … the same spots as Sergio Leon’s summer of 1969 masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West — stars Crispian Belfrage (Six Bullets to Hell, Morgan, As Good as Dead, etc.) as a man with no name, who we come to know as simply the “Bounty Killer.”

These “throw back” elements are deftly blended with the latest in high tech filmmaking, including the use of drones, to give Bounty Killer a polished look that belies its modest production budget.   In a word, cool … if you didn’t know better, you might think you’ve come across a long-lost Django flick, or better yet, a youthful Clint Eastwood will suddenly ride into view.   Olivier Merckx’s camera work also gives Bounty Killer that little extra.

It is the wedding day of Guadalupe Delgado (Naila Mansour — who also co-starred with Belfrage in Six Bullets to Hell), but the serenity of the ceremony is shattered when gunmen storm the chapel and gun down the groom and take her hostage.   Her father, Gonzalo (Antonio Mayans — Snakewoman, Revenge of the Alligator Ladies, Diamonds of Kilimandjaro, etc.), desperate for her safe return, and knowing full well that paying the ransom may not assure her freedom, hires a professional to kill them all and set free his daughter. 

Genre fans, especially those of followers of the classic Spaghetti Westerns, know that the action will be non-stop, the “Bounty Killer” will be out-gunned and pitted against seemingly impossible odds in his mission to save the lovely Guadalupe from a fate — possibly worse than death — and only his wits (if not dulled by his own weaknesses) and his trigger finger can even the odds!

It won’t be easy … he’s against “lawmen,” headed by the ruthless Cavendish (Ethan McDowell — Alien Expedition, Stained), who use their “official” power to hide their true business dealings.   Fire away “Bounty Killer” and you are immediately on the wrong side of the law … ah, what hell, empty those six-shooters, rescue Guadalupe and sort it all out later on!!
