| The Hard Cut...
Private dick
Roddy Tillinghast nonchalantly passes off a random missing-persons case to
his ex-partner Ritchie Valentine... And instead, Roddy gets suckered by The
Looker -with her endless legs- into tracking down a lost film print...
On the
surface, the film print looks like another worn-out drive-in horror flick,
but deep inside the reels of 35mm, there's hard evidence of a cold case
murder and ritualistic sacrifice. It's not hard to figure that Roddy isn't
the only one who wants to get his hands on this coveted film print, but when
Ritchie Valentine’s slashed corpse is discovered under the bed of a seedy
hotel room, a bizarre chain of events is kicked off like a line of toppling
dominoes, with Roddy diving headlong into deadly trouble every time he makes
a move.
A gritty
film noir with Faustian overtones, The Hard
Cut features a dynamic cast in the roles of the jaded detective, a
crackerjack cop (and female love interest), the femme fatale and the
violently edgy underworld boss, their paths criss-crossing in this off-beat thriller
with double crosses, murder, sex, betrayal, and sacrificial rites of
immortality.

I Woke Up Screaming the Day I
Died...
A man walks into a bar and holds a
stripper hostage at gunpoint – inadvertently setting off a chain of deadly
consequences when a valuable item of Rocky's gets destroyed in the
crossfire. Rocky's no rich guy, he's just a hired bastard earning a
blue-collar living in the crime underworld. Now he's gotta replace the item,
and that's going to cost him six thousand dollars and some change... too bad
Rocky's just been jacked out of his six grand by The Looker and Owen, the
owner of one of the outfit's clubs, when they screwed up Rocky's bet on the
Friday night fights.
Rocky and his partner Alex are going
to track down that six grand if it's the last thing they ever do. And
despite the fact Rocky never even pulls his gun out, everyone he encounters
invariably ends up dead. This might not bode too well for him or
his friend Alex, but the quick-witted pair of underworld thugs just might
take everyone by surprise at the end of the day.
