DEATH AND CREMATION Trailers Blaze

Seeing a rather distraught Brad Dourif coming up the steps towards you with a baseball bat resting comfortably on his shoulder isn’t the most soothing of images.  It does, though, make a damn fine beginning to a trailer for a film called DEATH AND CREMATION.

In the film, directed by first time feature film director Justin Steele, Dourif plays middle-aged man who performs a service to his community.  He runs the local crematorium, but, more than that, he rids the neighborhood of people he deems unworthy of the life they’ve been given.  Imagine the strange relationship that sparks when a 17-year-old outcast comes to the crematorium as his helper.

The film also stars Jeremy Sumpter of “Friday Night Lights” fame, Daniel Baldwin, and Scott Elrod.  Ross Otterman serves as producer with Ken Hedrick, Raphael Kryszek, Daniel Aldema, and Andy Jensen Sved acting as executive producers.  Tiago Mesquita is the co-producer on the film and Sean Dubravac and Matt Ilczuk serve as associate producers.

Here is the trailer for the film, which you can also check out in HD over at the film’s official site.

A nice, little teaser that gives you just enough sense of foreboding without revealing too much.

But, if that’s not enough to get your gander up, here’s the full trailer for the film, which offers even more Dourif taking back the neighborhood.

Enjoy!

DEATH AND CREMATION is set to debut in June.
