- TBA
- Running Time
- 93 mins
When a bunch of Satanists from another dimension sacrifice his girlfriend, bounty hunter beefcake Richard Flynn gets real mad and unleashes martial arts whupass. Two decades later, our hero learns that the cult leader has somehow survived. Teaming up with a mysterious young man, he must now descend into the pits of Hell to finish off the evildoer altogether.
A vanity project for writer/director/editor/producer and star Steve Barkett, who also casts his son as Flynn’s youthful sidekick, this is entertainingly preposterous stuff with some particularly endearing stop-motion monsters. All profits from this Bristol Bad Film Club screening go to Help Bristol’s Homeless. Go here for tickets.
