Twitch First Look: Small Town Folk: Poster, images and synopsis

This sounds like buckets of fun. From the UK comes Small Town Folk. Originally intended to be a short film something happened along the way and it has turned into a 90 minute feature film [anyone know the story about how that came about?]. Our friend with the sales group Imagination Worldwide calls it 'a wonderful mix of Tim Burton/Sam Raimi/Peter Jackson'. Ooh. Sign me up. We're working out a couple technical details with the trailer but we promise to have that up early this coming week, any way possible, but I can tell you it looks positively glorious and fun! It will screen at Cannes on Friday May 18th at 10AM at the Majestic Hotel, 1st Floor, Deauville Suite.

There is a place, a place called Grockleton, where high atop a scenic hillside stands the lonely Beesley’s Manor. Governed by the ominous LANDLORD, the area surrounding the Manor is policed by his personal gallery of rogues, such as POOCH, the cross-eyed marksman, PIKE who likes to spot the prey, and DOBBIN who drinks gasoline…straight from the tank.

Always on the lookout for females to carry on the Beesley name (willingly or not), the Landlord keeps a watchful eye over all of his land--and brutally dispatches those outsiders who dare set foot upon it.

When three improbable heroes stumble unsuspectingly onto his land, the quiet beauty of the countryside suddenly erupts in a torrent of blood and violence. Cruelly snared into a menacing hunt and chase, our heroes soon discover that the woods are crawling with a number of different killers—each more vicious and exotic than the last!

Will the Landlord triumph and collect his ‘trophies’ and a future bride? Or will the unlikely trio be victorious against him in his own game?

Cuz Twitch folk like 'em posters big and purdy like!
