We’ve managed to get Peter Gabriel’s song “Sledgehammer” out of our heads long enough to bring you word of the latest terror tale featuring a tool-wielding psychopath, Sledge. Read on for details, artwork, and even a trailer. Do it now, damn it! Don’t make us bring the hammer down.
From the Press Release
He didn’t drown. He didn’t burn. He’s just a psychopath with a sledgehammer. SLEDGE, a “bloody” good horror comedy in the tradition of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and Shaun of the Dead, premieres on VOD September 2nd and DVD on October 7th.
A spoof of the horror genre and littered with nods and references to fright flicks of yesteryear, the film fixes on a psychopath who believes not only is he in a movie and video game, but he’s the hero of this story.
“Sledge is a horror comedy that takes a loving poke to the horror classics we all grew up with,” says writer and co-director Kristian Hanson. “Adam Lynch is an original slasher who loves to talk and make jokes as he viciously mutilates the dumb campers who always return to a site of mass murders for no apparent reason.”
Hanson says SLEDGE is a movie made for the horror fan like himself.
“The overall idea of Sledge was to make a horror film that I would want to see. I love horror comedy, and instead of having the typical brooding giant mute, I went for the funny and psychotic killer who always seems to be shorter than his victims. I wanted to pay homage to the greats like Jason, Freddy, Leatherface, and Pinhead but put my own personal spin on it with my type of inappropriate humor. Adam Lynch is a slasher that brings the funny and the body count.”
SLEDGE is directed by John B. Sovie II and Kristian Hanson and stars Dustin Bowman, Stephanie Tupper, Rachel Cornell, and Hanson as Adam Lynch.
