‘Sympathy’ Continues the Hardcore Horror Offerings from Vicious Circle
by Marc Patterson
Following up on the release of Ryan Nicholson’s abortion gone crazy flick Hanger, and the nu-grindhouse stylings of Run! Bitch Run! comes Sympathy, the latest from Vicious Circle Films, one of the newest up and coming labels in horror. While Sympathy has been around for some time on the festival circuit (call it three years), it had yet to find a distributor to give it a chance. Enter Vicious Circle Films, a division of Breaking Glass Entertainment, and one company that is giving more risque horror titles a shot where others won’t. For fans of mind numbing gore this is nothing but good news. Now here’s hoping that trend continues well into 2010. Sympathy will be released to DVD on April 27. Look for our official review right around that time.
Synopsis from Sympathy’s MySpace Page: When a reckless bank robber and his rebellious teenage hostage hole up for the night in a bad motel, anything can happen. A mysterious stranger and dark twists of fate send this night into a descent of bloody madness in this deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is what it seems. Lock yourself in for this bloody tale that is equal parts classic suspense thriller and grindhouse horror.
The films stars Aaron Boucher, Steven Pritchard and Marina Shtelen is directed by Andrew Moorman and written by Arik Martin
