THE VIOLENT KIND Premiering at 2010 Sundance

It was a film we announced back in June after star Cory Knauf gave us the scoop that he was reteaming with the Butcher Brothers on a film called THE VIOLENT KIND.   Today came word that the film will be premiering at 2010’s Park City at Midnight, the genre leg of the Sundance Film Festival, and I, for one, cannot friggin’ wait for this thing.

Check out this official synopsis:

One night at a secluded farmhouse deep in the woods, a small group of hardened young biker hoodlums and their girlfriends are tormented when one of the women becomes demonically possessed.   As mysterious figures are glimpsed amongst the woods, ominous sounds heard, and friends found injured, an evening that begins with The Crew recanting the past quickly finds a bigger question looming: Who has joined them for this evening?   The machinations of THE VIOLENT KIND delve into an exploration of how the past, the present, and the future will impact the lives of several 20-somethings, each on their own path, but controlled by a history unbeknownst to them.

We were able to catch up with some of the people behind the film to get a quick word on the film and what it’s like to have it premiere at Sundance.

Star Cory Knauf had this to say about THE VIOLENT KIND getting accepted into Sundance:

I can’t say I expected it to make it into Sundance because I’d be lying if I did. What I can say with full confidence though is that I can’t think of another film out there quite like it. You’ll see. It’s really a testament to how incredible the Butcher Brothers are at telling a story. This weird flick came out of their brains, and now it’s at arguably the best festival around…. Like I said, you’ll see.

Co-producer Don R. Lewis said this when asked about how messed up and crazy the Butcher Brothers’ next film is:

Well, we knew the movie was going to be nuts when we all read the finished script. But we weren’t ready for how fucked up the actual playing out of events would be once they started the filming and especially in the editing processes. You know things are hardcore when Mitchell Altieri, one of the Butcher Brothers, got scared at what he had created one day in the editing suite. He just walked out shaking his head saying “Ugh….what have I done?”

Lewis also had this to say when asked who he would put money on in a fight, biker or demon:

Initially, I would have bet on the bikers but seeing how events played out, I wouldn’t put any money on anyone. Plus…who said they’re really demons………
