Father’S Day
Stars: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Garrett Hnatiuk, Brent Neale, Kevin Anderson, Meredith Sweeney, Zsuzsi | Written and Directed by Astron-6 (aka Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, Steven Kostanski, Conor Sweeney)
For people who remember older Troma movies like The Toxic Avenger they will remember that they were pretty gory. Kids were run over then got their heads squashed under car wheels, hell the violence and gore was at a high level, but the most important thing was they had a sense of humour. A lot of horror films don’t go for that sense of humour now, some may say we have lost that element of horror that we just aim for the gore and forget what fun horror can be. In ways that is true, but then came Father’s Day.

*a screener of this film was provided by Troma Entertainment.
Directors: Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, and Conor Sweeney.
Writers: Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy and Steven Kostanski.
Cast: Astron-6: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Garrett Hnatiuk, Brent Neale, Kevin Anderson, Meredith Sweeney, Zsuzsi, and Lloyd Kaufman.
Troma Entertainment is well known for its range of B movie craziness, and the schlock produced in Father's Day is different than their usual fare. It tries to be serious before slapping viewers with comedy. This film marks the debut of Astron-6, a new collective of filmmakers who quite enjoy stamping a grindhouse style onto their premiere product.
Although this tradition dates back to the days of early modern burlesque, the 30's and 70's vibe is replaced with more of the 80's style nostalgia. Here, Ahab (Adam Brooks) is out on a quest for revenge. He's after...

The Father’s Day Movie Trailer, Movie Poster has premiered. Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, and Conor Sweeney‘s Father’s Day stars Mackenzie Murdock, Lloyd Kaufman, Brent Neale, Cynthia Wolfe-Nolin, and Jeremy Gillespie. Father’s Day plot synopsis: ”Sons, lock up your fathers… vengeance arrives on… Father’s Day!” The Father’s Day movie trailer is hilarious, bloody, and graphic. Hobo with a Shotgun on Nos. I immediately thought of Eli Roth for some reason and his fake trailer Thanksgiving. This movie trailer reminds me of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Taratino‘s Grindhouse, Howlin For You, and Machete. I looked for this Nsfw trailer on YouTube and couldn’t find it, lol. Watch the Father’s Day movie trailer below and leave your thoughts on it below.
