Rage much: RAVAGE, a hunt-down thriller, is at the drive-in now

Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second

Hey, in case you’re feeling the Pandemic Panic Point rage lately, RAVAGE is the perfect film to play out your ‘gotcha’ game. Bruce Dern plays the creepy old guy, so you know this has to be great. It’s up to hypenate Annabelle Dexter-Jones and crafty Robert Longstreet to hit the pavement out of this Okie maze of lowball criminal masterminds.

There will be unregistered firearms, wonky handled-knives, makeshift garrotes, and gratuitous bloodstains, no doubt.

Even the synopsis is thriller-perfect, a hunt-down, crazy-maker for 2020. “Harper, a young nature photographer on assignment in the woods of the Watchatoomy Valley,” it reads (yes, Watch-a-too-my), “captures a disturbing event of a man being brutally whipped and beaten in the woods.” And of course she blabs about this to the local authorities.

“After reporting the incident to the local sheriff, she is quickly captured by the culprits.” Whereby they take her to the proverbial “abandoned farm in the woods” to be tortured.

Yet, film fans, there is hope, “due to Harper’s experience as a survivalist she is able to escape.” However, our heroine has to outfox her psycho captors.

Hard to believe writer/director Teddy Grennan spent almost half a decade animating films for Nickelodeon before this barn burner, lolz.  But RAVAGE is what #lockdown requires right now, since we’re all hostages of that COVID-19 spiky, aerosol-riding, RNA posse going viral these days.

RAVAGE, but who isn’t a rage-monster due to #lockdown lately?

Is there anything as cinematically satisfying as exiting a little unlawful containment?

Didn’t think so.

Writer/director: Teddy Grennan

Producers: Marsha Oglesby, Bennett Krishock and Teddy Grennan

Music: Jacques Bratbaur

Stars: Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Bruce Dern and Robert Longstreet.

Running away from captors time: 77 minutes

Watch for RAVAGE, from distributor Brainstorm Media at drive-in’s thru Aug. 21, then on VOD.
