Completed in 2006 and originally released in 2007, Unearthed Films will show this title on home entertainment formats this December. From scriptwriters Patrick Coble (Hanger) and Vince D'Amato, Torched is a micro-budget rape-revenge thriller, which focuses on Deanna. Deanna has been attacked by several men. Now, she is turning her trauma into passion as she seeks out her attackers. Torched stars: Michelle Boback (The Flame), Tamara Pender and Daniel Lomas. And, a preview of the film's latest release is here. The Blu-ray will include several features, as well as the DVD. Blu-ray extras include: a commentary by Nicholson, a behind-the-scenes clip, an interview with Nicholson and more. The Blu-ray will host five hours of special features and be available in both 16:9 and 4:3 formats. On the DVD, the extras will include similar special features and be available in the aforementioned formats.

Co-producer Dan Walton sent along the latest poster for Hanger, the third feature directed by makeup FX artist Ryan Nicholson after Live Feed and the recently released Gutterballs. You can see it below the cut.

Scripted by Nicholson and Patrick Coble, Hanger stars Debbie Rochon of Fango Radio, Nathan Dashwood, Dan Ellis, Ronald Patrick Thompson, Wade Gibb, Alastair Gamble and Candice Lewald in the story of an attempted abortion that goes horribly wrong: The surviving baby grows up to be a badly scarred killer who sets out for bloody revenge.

In their follow-up to Gutterballs (coming on Tla DVD in January), moviemaker Ryan Nicholson and Plotdigger Films move away from the sterile bowling-alley environment and get down and dirty with Hanger. The movie just finished shooting in Surrey, BC, Canada (40 minutes from Vancouver).

The titular protagonist (pictured left, and played by Gutterballs’ Nathan Dashwood; see more exclusive pics below) is so named due to the horrifying manner in which he was birthed: with a wire coat hanger. Horribly disfigured as a result, he cuts a bloody path of revenge until he gets to the one who brought him into this world.

A Fango set visit finds writer (with Patrick Coble) and director Nicholson taking a break from his other job as a makeup FX artist (most recently on the Sci Fi channel’s Troglodyte), but this is anything but a rest. Working with a much shorter shooting schedule than his...

Fangoria Radio’s Debbie Rochon recently returned from Vancouver, where she shot her scenes for Ryan (Gutterballs) Nicholson’s new shocker Hanger. She brought back a couple of exclusive pics that you can see below.

“The top one is me being abused by my pimp,” Rochon tells us, “and the other is me getting attacked just before the botched abortion scene happens!” Written by Nicholson and Patrick Coble and produced by Nicholson and Dan Walton, Hanger is about what happens when the object of that operation survives, grows up and seeks bloody revenge.
