One screening only! This will be very busy. I'd be buying my tickets now.
Sickness abounds as Rev enters some pure grindhouse territory; from the font used in the opening credits to the score and even the final anthem; from the endless slatherings of red blood and the wild plot to the brutal violence, Jason Treevenge Eisener’s Hobo delivers. Cult legend Rutger Hauer stars as the titular hobo who finds himself singlehandedly cleaning up the crime ridden streets of a nameless town in which the residents cower in fear from an evil crimelord, his two malevolent sons and the monstrously corrupt cops.
First appearing as a fake trailer in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse project, Hobo has all the makings of a cult hit. Expect: blood, guts, boobs, fights, and, of course, shotgun blasts! Produced with a real love for exploitation movies, for anybody who grew-up watching the likes of Driller Killer or the numerous Dirty Harry inspired shockers or the Toxic Avenger, this is a real nasty treat!
This session is going to be mighty busy so we recommend getting your tickets in advance.
