Hobo with a Shotgun

A few years ago, SXSW sponsored a grindhouse trailer competition.  The winner was for a little film called Hobo with a Shotgun, which has now been made into a full-length feature.  I was 14 people back when the cut the line for its first screening at SXSW (having been at the Foo Fighter's concert), but I made sure to be there the next night.

It's totally awesome.  Filled with over-the-top characters (I liked the pawn shop owner and the Plague), senseless violence, and simple justice, it fits all the needs of a grindhouse splatterfest.

Raw.  Raw good.
