New trailer and artwork for one of the year's oddest movies.
A character who makes a living euthanising pets may seem like a strange choice for a movie protagonist, but that's the case with writer/director Teemu Nikki’s grindhouse throwback Euthanizer.
Word from the festival circuit is that Nikki's film is “a film experience completely different than you'd find in mainstream cinema” (Birth.Movies.Death) and a “great addition to – and a new take on – the current wave of grungy exploitation independent cinema” (The AV Club).
Euthanizer opens in US cinemas July 20th before hitting VOD August 7th.
Check out the trailer below and let us know your thoughts.
The official synopsis reads:
Veijo runs a black-market operation euthanizing people's ailing pets to make extra money. It is clear he has dark secrets, but only after meeting a young nurse and a seedy mechanic (who's mixed up with a vicious gang of neo-Nazis) that Veijo's carefully balanced, albeit deranged, life begins to show cracks. Things turn to the extreme when Veijo does not finish a job he was paid to and his client finds out…in this grungy exploitation throwback.
