We’ve been tracking filmmaker Gabriel Carrer’s revenge thriller The Demolisher since last spring, so we’re stoked the first teaser and poster is finally here! Revenge never goes out of style and I particularly enjoy the brooding, unsentimental films about this theme. Carrer’s flick looks like just that – an unmerciful look at a man pushed too far.

Bruce (Ryan Barrett) is an ordinary repairman tormented by a crippling sense of responsibility for his disabled wife Samantha, an ex-policewoman (Tianna Nori), the survivor of a gang-related assault. Bruce’s increasing hyper-sensitivity to the injustice suffered by his wife steer him down a dark path of vigilantism, and with his rapidly disintegrating mental health, paranoia and overwhelming sense of doom, Bruce channels his inner rage towards a young woman Marie (Jessica Vano) and finds refuge in a world of extreme violence. Both a character study and a psychological examination of trauma, The Demolisher is an unapologetic portrayal of what can happen when a fragile mind is pushed too far.

A dude strolling down the street in full body armor strikes up memories of Uwe Boll’s Rampage, but Carrer’s film is certainly going to be an entirely different beast. We’ll keep you updated when we hear more about The Demolisher!
