J. Horton's apocalyptic crime-thriller A Hard Place hits Digital VOD on May 27, and we've got an exclusive new trailer to get you ready for an ass-whooping from scream queen Felissa Rose.
Alongside Sleepaway Camp icon Felissa, A Hard Place features a cast of genre titans, including Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6, The Beast Inside), Rachel Amanda Bryant (Craving), Kevin Caliber (“Future Man”), Ashley Undercuffler (Craving, 16 Bits), and Bai Ling (The Crow).
In A Hard Place:
After a botched job leaves a trail of bodies behind, a gang of desperate criminals seeks refuge in a remote desert hideout. But their plans fall apart fast when they discover the area is home to something far worse than the law — an ancient feud between the creatures that roam the day and the monsters that rule the night. As tensions rise and the body count climbs, the crew must decide if survival is worth trusting each other — or the creatures hunting them.
Need we remind you that Ms. Rose has her very own category at the FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards (Best Felissa Rose Movie will return with a vengeance this year!), so we're gonna go ahead and recommend you check this one out.
Ahead of the wider release of his latest film, Horton shared:
“A Hard Place has been by far the most ambitious project I've ever made. This movie would not exist if not for the talent, generosity and just general good personalities of ALL of the cast and crew, as well as our cinema partners. In true Roger Corman style, we hit the road with A Hard Place, traveling with the film to theaters and drive ins across the country. It's been a complete joy to see the movie with multiple audiences, which is something a lot of independent movies don't get the opportunity to do.”
