Breaking Glass Pictures will make the revenge thriller Trucker available through digital home entertainment retail platforms beginning March 10.
Directed by Errol Sack and written by Steven Shaffer, Trucker follows a hardworking truck driver in 1985 whose life is shattered when his family is killed in a fiery crash caused by a group of reckless teens. Pulled from the wreckage and left for dead, he is mysteriously rescued and nursed back to health by an enigmatic old man living among the twisted remains of abandoned trucks. What follows is a relentless campaign of revenge as the trucker hunts down those responsible for destroying his life — forcing audiences to question where sympathy truly lies.
The cast includes Katherine Gibson, Dwayne Hilton Jr., Milo Hayden, Nicole Mattox, Dare Taylor, Lauren Parkinson, Chuck Cirino and Jim Palmer.
“With influences ranging from Friday the 13th and Joy Ride to I Know What You Did Last Summer, Trucker delivers a familiar yet ferocious experience that horror fans will instantly recognize,” Breaking Glass co-founder Richard Wolff said in a statement.
Sack calls the 1980s setting essential to the tension of the film, which is brought to life through practical stunts, visceral effects and a throwback genre sensibility.
“There were fewer technologies back then,” Sack said in a statement. “That limitation makes everything more interesting and more dangerous.”
Shaffer adds: “With Trucker, we also wanted to create something we could realistically produce — using locations, skills and props we already had access to.”
