Pat Tremblay’s “Hellacious Acres: The Case of John Glass” is being billed as a “minimalist sci-fi black comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world.” That sorta sums it up. Plus, apparently there’s a lot of walking, and voiceover narration, and though the synopsis promises “aliens and crazy survivors” standing in the way of our hero John Glass as he attempts to complete his mission, they’re not shown in this first teaser trailer.
John Glass wakes up in a desolate barn from a long cryogenic slumber, to be informed that not only has the planet been devastated by a third world war, but also reduced to little habitability by a subsequent alien invasion. He learns that in order to help reestablish a livable atmosphere for what’s left of humanity, he’ll have to go on a solitary mission to retrieve important codes dispersed throughout remote locations. Soon enough he’ll encounter more than he “bargained” for: aliens, crazy survivors, inadequate equipment, LOTS of walking and a pretty unhealthy dose of bad luck…
The film will make its world premiere over at the Bloodfest Fantastique Festival on June 14th, 2011.
Starring Jamie Abrams, Navin Pratap and Paula Davis, and written and directed by Pat Tremblay.
