An unholy alliance of Warriors-styled action thrills (this time through a post-nuke hellzone) and brain dead frat house comedy (complete with a Belushi-esque fat guy), Future-Kill is undeniably weird outsider exploitation. When a group of sex-crazed college boys are challenged to venture into a downtown wasteland, they run head first into Splatter and his mutant gang of anti-nuke protesters. Needless to say, their fun-filled joyride does not end well. One of the great video store classics, the Austin-lensed, ultra low budget Future-Kill reunites Texas Chainsaw Massacre stars Edwin Neal and Marilyn Burns, features the first on-screen role for John Hawkes and, perhaps, is most well-known for its iconic H.R. Giger poster art. It’s also filled with chaotic grime, gore effects, future fashion, real-life punk rockers, bad dude attitude and a surprisingly poetic anti-violence philosophy. You’ve never seen anything quite like it!
