Parent, McCain, Gray & Robinson join ‘Breath of Hate’

Published

on

Monique Parent (“Play Time”), Elske McCain (“Jessicka Rabid”), Ricardo Gray (“Easter Bunny Kill! Kill!”) and Trista Robinson are set to star in the Velvet Hammer Films/ArsonCuff Entertainment production of Breath of Hate! You can get all the details beyond the break.
Directed by Sean Cain (“Silent Night, Zombie Night”) and starring Ezra Buzzington (“Halloween 2”), “Breath” centers around a young woman in the escort business, who on her last job is confronted by a trio of escaped mental patients looking to change the world; one victim at a time.

“I like a part that scares me. If my first instinctive reaction is, ‘I can’t DO that’, that’s when I know it’s the right part for me.” Parent says. “Selma forces me to look into the darkest places that I have and that scares the crap out of me. Scared shitless is a good place to work from.”

“Playing Hailey is like a vacation for me.” states McCain tapped as the laid back escort. “Unlike my film, ‘Jessicka Rabid’ I don’t get locked in a cage or have to kill anyone!” Gray and Robinson round out the cast as the maniacal dinosaur loving Cleb and underage Lolita-like Tabbi.

“Breath” begins filming in late summer. This is the second production out of Wes Laurie’s ArsonCuff Entertainment and Sean Cain’s Velvet Hammer Films who are currently finishing post-production on “Silent Night, Zombie Night.”

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
