An Exclusive Teaser For Lee Demarbre's SMASH CUT!

by Todd Brown, May 23, 2008 10:36 PM

We first posted about Smash Cut - the upcoming horror comedy from Lee Demarbre, director of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, with stars David Hess, Michael Berryman, Herschell Gordon Lewis and Sasha Grey - just a couple days ago and today we've been passed the first look anywhere at the film's very first promotional teaser. This is very much designed to sell the concept and tone of the film and will likely not appear in the finished film - which is shooting right now in Ottawa - at the end of the day.

Smash Cut is the dizzying portrayal of ABLE WHITMAN, a trouble filmmaker losing his mind in an extraordinary way.

After his latest “serious” film is met with gales of laughter, Able decides to drown his sorrows at a local strip club--where he meets dancer GIGI SPOT. Minutes later, he’s convinced the honey dripping sex-pot to star in his next project. Minutes after that, he’s killed her in a drunk driving accident. Needing to dispose of the body, Able stumbles upon the one place nobody would notice a corpse…spread around the set of his new horror film. When the response to this new footage is praised for its realism, the guilt ridden Able has a complete mental breakdown. Believing he has finally discovered the key to making a great horror film, the director quickly discovers that one human body doesn’t yield a lot of parts, and if he wants to finish, he’s going to have to keep on killing.

Meanwhile, Gigi’s sister APRIL hires the city’s most celebrated private detective, ISAAC BEAUMONDE, to investigate Gigi’s disappearance. But when the simple missing person investigation turns into a string of stomach turning murders, Isaac realizes he’s found the case of a lifetime.

With Beaumonde hot on his heels, his sanity unspooling and his collaborators dropping like flies, will Able have the time, focus and resources to complete his magnum opus, or will he simply fade to black?

You'll find the teaser below the break in the Twitch Player.

Wow - Didn't even recognise David Hess til his name came up on the screen. Good to see the old sleazeball back on the screen though, as well as Michael Berryman. I love the cheesey horror music at the end too.
