This is so great. If this were a real 70's exploitation movie I could see myself hunting down a $40 DVD or blu-ray of it from one of the few distributors that specialize in such things. Its only fault is that it makes you want to see a feature version so very badly!
@Rantincorporated This could have been the runner up for all you know. A better one than others in South By Southwest contest but I'm happy to know the winner was Hobo With A Shotgun.

Now that we have all seen The Dark Knight, I think that the late great Heath Ledger has taught us all that a pencil truly can be used as a lethal weapon.
A few years ago two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids room the father said "Take the kids and get out of the house We'll call the police we don't have a clown statue" The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT THIS SPAM, THIS REALLY FREAKS ME OUT!)
Seriously, that was good. Better than the entry that won. I liked the pace, style, tone, voice-over, and lack of violence. The Trailers I've seen (including the ones in the film) had a level of violent gore that no trailer from the Grindhouse period would have had. Think about it, the majority of trailers wouldn't have gore because they wouldn't be shown if they did.
In response to Shoestring; I hear what your saying. But, I felt as though parody was the obvious way to go and wanted to have a more serious slower feel. So many original trailers were that way. Many weren't meant to be funny. They are funny now days because of the different times we live in. I felt as if I could replicate the time instead of what the Grindhouse movie was going to do, I would make a better piece. Whether I did or not is up to you. Thanks for the crit!
It claims to be a documentary of three people trying to fight for survival. So it's probably supposed to be a fake advertisement for a snuff film in the late 60's or early 70's.
Only problem is that repeating the "stop the slaughter" and "kill your killer" line so many times made the trailer feel monotonous. And even if you're going serious, a feeling of parody always helps. That was generally the intent of the trailers featured in the movie.
Very good. Especially the sound blip at the beginning, makes the trailer feel very old school. Also the warning, it's a clever way to make the audience want to see the film more. Like reverse psychology.
This is one of my personal favourites from the Grindhouse Contest. Great job guys! I love it! You got me saying "Kill Your killer." & "Stop the slaughter." in a monatone voice all day long. lol!
I agree with JayRod22222... intense. Actually had me going there! The thing that annoys me about these trailers (I only just found out about the contest/started watching them) is that most of them I'm starting to wish were real films. Haha. Good work!
This was designed for the SXSW trailer competition hosted by Robert Rodgriguez. It wasn't for the feature film. Thanks for thinking it was though. Makes us believe we're doing our jobs properly.
A guy from halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada won with his Trailer "Hobo with a Shotgun" although for some reason the trailer only played in theatres across Canada
Kickass trailer, man. I love the producer interlude...it was perfect. And the shooting of the woman coming out of the door seemed very brutal. Well done. This contest was so rad. So many great pieces of work. Check mine out if you get a chance.
What if I kill the killer of "Kill your Killer? Does that make me a kill killer or a killer kill? Or does that make me a thrill killer or a killer thriller? If the Killer of "Kill Your Killer" is named Bill and I kill the killer of "Kill Your Killer" does that make a a Bill Killer or a Killer Biller or a Kill Biller? If I were to Kill the Bill of "Kill Your Killer" and my name were Will would that make me a Will Kill Bill Killer?
i think if u kill the killer of the killer than your the killer of the killer of the killer which makes u the same as the killer of the killer, so your role in the film is *kill the killers killer*
kickass.
