A release date has been set for Winter 2010.

Plotdigger Films is proud to announce “The Murder Mack”.

“From the mind that brought you Torched, Live Feed, Gutterballs, Hanger and the soon to be released Star Vehicle comes a twisted tale of two best friends….
Larry and Roy.

“Larry and Roy have been friends since they met in prison and shortly after Larry is released the two reconnect at Larry’s halfway house. It doesn’t take long for them to realize that they have needs to be met and the house is full of worthy candidates as well as the community. Once the wheels are in motion none will be spared in this all out orgy of murder, mayhem and torture we call “The Murder Mack”.

There will be no shortage of gore and all the good things that fans of Plotdigger films have come to expect from our movies. We are really going back to our roots with this one and pulling out all the stops with a Plotdigger, no holds barred, in your face kind of attitude!
Ryan will be teaming up with Plotdigger alumni Dan Ellis (Gutterballs, Hanger and Star Vehicle) in more ways than one… Ryan will be staring as “Roy” as well as writing and directing and Dan will be playing “Larry” and making his debut as a producer.
I think we both knew it was only a matter of time before we would work together on a project outside of the “director/actor” relationship. We have been good friends since “Gutterballs” and working together, behind the scenes, has been an easy transition.

This promises to be a busy year for Plotdigger films with “Star Vehicle” set for a Fall release and “Famine” ( Another co-production with New Image Entertainment) going into production in August.
Independent horror is alive kicking in Canada and we intend to prove it!

Every Halloween season means essential viewing of iconic horror films for many horror fans, myself included.  Let me share five movies that penetrate my dvd player every October and why these movies are so well worn.  I’ll start with the obvious, John Carpenter’s all-time classic Halloween.  Horror movies do not get better than this.  Halloween not only invented a legendary screen villain introducing Michael Myers to accepting fans worldwide, it set the standard for stalk and slash style pictures, very rarely matched.  Some will balk at me for my next pick but I do enjoy following Halloween with it’s lessor sequel.  Light on scares but easy on the eyes with it’s gratuitous sex and violence.  Halloween II makes for a fun watch after the intense viewing of the original.  Coming out nearly 3 years later but sequentially taking place mere moments after Dr. Loomis shoots Myers multiple times, Halloween II goes for the shock factor rather than scares and I dig it.  Moving on, something about October brings out the anthology in me.  Scary story-telling in a narrative fashion with a kick-ass wrap-around.  George A. Romero and Stephen King gave us Creepshow and I thank them for it by repeated viewings.  The tales are so well done with such a stellar cast, this movie has staying power and will be with horror fans for a lifetime.  Tom Savini’s make-up effects were all encompassing.  With gore, drowned zombies, “Fluffy” the furry little bastard and vegetation man, famously played by King himself, Savini rocked out with his cock out, well, make-up brush at least and showed what creating monsters and killing people is all about.  Moving past such classics, I also watch more obscurities such as Jim Ban Bebbers’s cult-classic Deadbeat at Dawn, a movie that goes for the nutsack and doesn’t let up until the credits role.  JVB he did everything on this one. Played the leading man, created the FX and did some seriously bad-ass stunts and fight choreography. Not to mention write and direct it!  Finally, I will watch Jim Muro’s Street Trash every Halloween because it is also one movie that inspires me to this day.  It is one movie that is as depraved as it gets and isn’t afraid to fuck your eyeballs out while you endure the sadistic humour and uber-gore that splashes across your tv screen.  The movie is a success on many levels and is another one that has serious shelf-life simply due to it’s uncompromising nature.  It knows it’s as un-p.c. as it gets and it just runs with it like the dude running out of the building, cock-out and all, unashamed and amused.  Ah shit pal, there’s five for ya.  Enjoy!
