Herschell Gordon Lewis, David Hess, Sasha Grey Invade Your Home in ‘Smash Cut’
by Marc Patterson
There’s no question that around here we’re huge fans of Herschell Gordon Lewis, and to further that I’ll readily admit that I’m a rather huge fan of David Hess. Throw in porn star Sasha Grey and horror fan favorite Michael Berryman and you’ve got one heck of an ensemble cast for a fantastic splatterfest. I’ve been following the development of Smash Cut, the newest film to feature these horror icons, for some time and I’m happy to report that it’s FINALLY ready to find a place in your collection this March. Whatever your opinion, I know I’ll be snagging this one up pronto.
Smash Cut will debut on the Shriek Show label’s new ‘Fresh Meat’ label on March 16th. You can pre-order the film from Amazon.com by clicking here!
From the press release: Smash Cut stars Sasha Grey as television news celebrity April Carson who hires private investigator Isaac Beaumonde (Jesse Buck) to help find her missing sister, a stripper known as Gigi Spot (Jennilee Murray). Following a bloodstained trail, Carson goes undercover and auditions for a role in a low budget horror movie. Soon, she shockingly discovers that the movie’s director, Able Whitman (David Hess), is not only the killer but that he has utilized her sister’s body parts to pump up the ‘realism’ for his new production! When Whitman requires more ‘props’ for his film, he sets off on a crimson-splattered killing spree. Now, only intrepid reporter April and the celebrated private detective stand between the demented director and his unquenchable thirst for reel slaughter at 24 frames per second!
SMASH CUT is directed by Lee Demarbre and produced by Odessa/Zed Filmworks. Co-starring in SMASH CUT is David Hess from Wes Craven’s original “The Last House on the Left” and “Swamp Thing”. Also featuring a cameo appearance by the godfather of gore himself, Herschell Gordon Lewis (BLOOD FEAST, 2000 MANIACS).
