Good news for fans looking for that extra kick in a film. Magnolia’s genre arm, Magnet Releasing, will release Edward Anderson’s Shuttle in limited theaters in March followed by a DVD release on April 7, 2009. Magnet acquired the film in November as part of the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.
The film has received marks as “one of the most compelling denouements of any genre film” according to one reviewer for Bloody Disgusting. “It’s tragic and brutal and for eagle-eyed fans it is satisfying in that the film hints and pokes and prods the audience toward the conclusion… I don’t think genre fans can ask for more than that when they sit down in a darkened theater, board the Shuttle, and demand to be transported into a terrifying new world.”
Written and directed by Anderson, the film is a story about two friends, “Jules (Cameron Goodman) and Mel (Peyton List) [who] return late at night from a ladies-only vacation. They find themselves at the airport on a rainy night that seems darker than usual. Wanting to get home but with limited options, they board an airport shuttle with a driver (Tony Curran), hoping for a safe and short ride.”
