Cast: Beth Cantor, Christopher Patrick Donoghue, Nathan Durec, Dustin Elkins, Karyn Halpin, Glenn Hoffmann, Des Larson, Christopher Lomas, Gustavo MacSerna, Thabi Maphoso, and Ady Mejia. Ryan Nicholson is a Vancouver based director who took the ferry trip over to Victoria for Dedfest '12. Nicholson is best known to this film fan for his sexploitation flick Gutterballs, which featured a brutal rape scene. This cinephile also tried to watch Hanger, but the film's subject matter was too grotesque. Have you ever scene an abortion performed with a hanger? That film was never finished. Now, Nicholson returns with another gorefest titled Famine. This is essentially a slasher flick taking place in a locked down high school. Few students make it out of this picture without a scalping, a knifing, an acid bath and many other shocking deaths. The story is fairly straight.

Production crews New Image Entertainment and Plotdigger Films are releasing the first trailer for Ryan Nicholson's Famine. Nicholson and Plotdigger Films are both Vancouver, British Columbia based. Here, they specialize in over-the-top horror productions such as Gutterballs, Hanger and Bleading Lady. Their films are full of shocking material, eye gouging plot developments, and buckets of blood.

Famine is the latest horror production to come from Nicholson and company. This feature promises "a colourful kill-a-minute gorefest" (Plotdigger). The mature trailer backs up this statement, as a high school population is turned into nymphomaniacs and punctured blood letters. Have a watch of the bodily destruction unfold in the one and a half minute reel below.

Tagline:

"Get nailed in late 2011!"

The film's synopsis:

"Two years after a high-school prank involving flesh-eating acid nearly kills popular teacher Mr. Balszack, the graduating class of Sloppy Secondary holds a '24-Hour Famine' charity event on school grounds.
