Set in August 1976, Raquel and her girlfriend have car trouble and break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. At the same time, a group of people are in the desert for a photo shoot. Soon, they stumble upon an abandoned town where a family of masked psychopaths reside.
Marcel Walz (Blood Feast, Blind) directs from a script by frequent collaborator Joe Knetter (Blind, Twilight of the Dead). Neon Noir produces.
Adriane McLean, Sarah French (Blind), Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators), Adam Bucci (“Halt and Catch Fire”), Mark Justice, Robert Felsted Jr., Ben Kaplan, Dazelle Yvette, Bishop Ali Stevens,Jed Rowen (Blind), Alex Dundas, and Andreas Robens star.
“Brute 1976 is bloody and sexy, with a deranged family so demented they make John Waters’s Pink Flamingos look like a paradigm of family values,” said Cinephobia President Raymond Murray. “Brute 1976 restored my faith in horror that shocks.”
