Mill Creek Entertainment has tabbed Aug. 09 for the DVD debut of writer/director Ritchie Greer’s thriller-with-a-twist, Weekend Warriors.
In what proves to be a bit of foreshadowing, we are introduced to Scottie (Jack Gross — Courageous Love, Masha Time!), a high school kid, who is a bit of a nerd, but has his limits when it comes to getting pushed around … he takes on his tormentor at school. It matters little that he wins or loses this opening tussle, the point is, he will fight back.
Joey (Jason London — Dazed and Confused, The Rage: Carrie 2), his uncle, suggests that a weekend camping trip with his fun-loving buddies might just be the break that Scottie needs. So, with his little sister, Jamie (Juliet Rusche — Heaven, Who Wants Me Dead?), in tow, the trio are off for a weekend “camping” trip in the nearby woods.
Now Joey’s idea of a weekend camping trip and what you might think is a weekend camping trip are two very different things. His friends are actually an ultimate paintball warrior “clan,” headed by Wesley (Daniel de Weldon — Anonymous 616, Badland Wives), who is a sociopath … and is having a difficult time differentiating paintball fun with the real thing, combat. And, he is none too pleased that these small fry are invading his turf!
Wesley’s main squeeze, Amy (Pilot Paisley-Rose), is part sex-toy, part punching bag and with her along on the “camping” trip that’s all the catalyst you need to send Wesley over to the dark side.
It becomes clear early-on that Joey has done something incredibly stupid by bringing along his niece and nephew to this paintball armageddon. These “fun-loving” campers are all thugs and they are led by a crazed maniac, who soon becomes convinced that Joey his having his way with Amy. Snap!
Wesley murders Joey and now the “hunt” is on for the two witnesses … this little paintball wargame has suddenly turned into a human hunt. How on earth can a nerdy high school kid and his little sister survive these “weekend warriors?” Remember the foreshadowing? Perhaps they will, perhaps not, but filmmaker Ritchie Greer has set up a neat little thriller that will keep you guessing if Scottie and Jamie survive their “camping” weekend (and there’s more out there in the woods than just thugs) … Aug. 09 to find out the endgame when Mill Creek Entertainment rolls out the DVD of Weekend Warriors.
