  • 'Hobo With A Shotgun' – Even Crazier Than You Imagined [Sundance Review]

    The whole tongue-in-cheek, gory, B-movie grindhouse thing is so played out these days. How many ways can you film the explosion of the human head or the mutilation of a body part, really? Before Hobo With A Shotgun, I would have said there was some sort of ceiling to that kind of carnage. But co-writer…

  • Movie Trailer: Hobo With A Shotgun

    Add another title to the ever-growing list of meta-films, this one being possibly the most ridiculous of all. It's odd enough that the fake trailer for Machete was made into a movie, but that project had Robert Rodriguez (and a budget) backing it, not to mention it was originally envisioned as a feature-length film prior…

  • Rutger Hauer To Star In Feature-Length Version Of Hobo With A Shotgun

    "I'm gonna sleep in your bloody carcasses tonight!"
