event Hobo With A Shotgun

Aficionados of exploitation know the disappointment of gathering with drinking buddies to watch some choice-sounding trash, only to be let down by a movie with just a few juicy scenes and corny lines between long stretches of tedium. Director Jason Eisener’s Hobo With A Shotgun is built to be an exception. Originating as a fake trailer during the promotional campaign for Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse, Hobo With A Shotgun knows exactly what it is and whom it’s meant to attract. It’s a hyper-violent, self-conscious throwback, with the sickly plastic aroma of a tape that’s been gathering dust in the corner of a video store since 1984.
