If you’re always on the lookout for “extreme horror,” then take note that Unearthed Films and Plotdigger Films have announced a November 18th DVD release for Ryan Nicholson’s Collar, starring Nick Principe. Read on for all the gory details.
Produced by James Morgart, Adam Torkel, and Keryn Thompson, along with Germany distributor Illusions Entertainment, Collar premiered April 2014 in Switzerland at Genre Fest Plan 2400: Les Etranges Nuits du Cinéma.
Written and directed by Nicholson, Collar stars Principe (Laid to Rest 1 and 2, Seed 2: The New Breed) as a satanic derelict with a taste for human flesh who terrorizes skid row’s prostitutes, junkies, and homeless, escalating his level of violence after he abducts a rookie cop played by Aidan Dee (“Caprica,” A Dangerous Man) on a routine patrol.
Collar also stars Mackenzie Murdock (Father’s Day, Manborg), Ronald Thompson (Hanger), and Mihola Terzik (Gutterballs).
Shot on location in Vancouver, BC, the film features a heavy assortment of gruesome FX makeup design by Michelle Grady, who previously collaborated with Nicholson on Gutterballs, Hanger, and Famine; it was lensed by Wolfgang Meyer and has the most locations, effects, and setups attempted so far by Nicholson in his full and varied career.
Synopsis:
A rookie cop (Murdock) starts her shift like any other, but soon it will all change for the worse. A derelict with a reputation of satanic violence (Principe) attacks the officer and collars her with a dog leash, which is just the start of his abusive ritual.
