After a botched robbery during which one of them takes a grisly wound to the hand, two brothers hide out in a small desert town. Before you can say ‘abrupt tonal shift’ they’re besieged by bloodthirsty monsters and fighting for their lives against forces darker and nastier than they could ever hope to be. No, not vampires – crazies and cannibals.
From the desert-drenched visuals to the wannabe left-field tonal shift and ‘badass’ sibling duo, it’s quite obvious from the outset that Drifter really wants to be From Dusk Till Dawn. It’s a comparison that’s openly welcomed; a film which would love to have “From Dusk Till Dawn meets...

You can be two things inside a post-apocalyptic wasteland devoid of morality according to writer/director Chris von Hoffmann: stoic badass on a journey of vengeance or unhinged cartoon cannibal with tongue readier to lick flesh than gun is to blow a hole in someone’s head. There’s no room for anything in between whether compassionate souls trying to survive amongst malicious wild cards or cautious, anxiety-ridden kids in way over their heads. Either way you’re going to die — not in an esoteric “we all die” sort of way, but a brutal demise brought on by that stoic badass or muscle-bound kook maniacally laughing with his/her tongue on your cheek. At least you can rest well knowing your killer will die soon too. It’s the little things after all.
So what do you do while awaiting death in such a nihilistic purgatory? Well, the characters...

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
Presidents' Day weekend was an interesting one at the box office, and as with most holiday weekends, it was particularly difficult to figure out how things might fare, other than The Lego Batman Movie, which remained at #1 with almost $45 million over the four-day weekend. Fifty Shades Darker followed with $21.3 million, about a 50% drop. Last week, I thought that the Ice Cub comedy Fist Fight would beat The Great Wall, although it seemed like it could be a close race. Nope. Matt Damon’s action epic came in third place with $21.6 million, which is a couple million more than my original prediction, but The Fist Fight fell short of my prediction by almost $10 million, grossing $14.5 million in its first four days.

Review by Stephen Tronicek
The concept of “copying” has become demonized to the point of criticism in film these days, and for good reason. The concept of copying story points and aesthetics or visual flourishes from other films is cheating if there’s nothing else brought to the table. However, once in awhile, there’s actually a movie that comes along that isn’t exactly it’s own, isn’t exactly original, but has enough to create an entertaining movie. Drifter surprisingly fits right into that category. There are moments of the film that call back to so many films including, Mad Max, The Rover, the works of David Lynch and a variety of cannibal movies, but the overall stellar direction, editing, and acting make Drifter a film that continues to surprise and shock.

No one is safe in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Chris von Hoffmann’s upcoming “Drifter.” Seriously, no one. In von Hoffmann’s first feature film, two brothers find themselves crossing paths with a family of psychotic cannibals when they get stuck in a desolate town at the end of the world. Relatable.

In our exclusive clip, things are appropriately mysterious and terrifying as Vijah (Monique Rosario) is forced by the head cannibal in charge, Latos (Anthony Ficco), to tie Miles (Aria Emory) down to a couch and then watch, terrified, as his brother is thrown in the middle of what looks to be a large dirt circle made of garbage. They’re both bruised and bloodied, and von Hoffmann doesn’t make it easy on the audience by cutting away, but...
