On this day in Horror History, Hobo with a Shotgun made it's Canadian release in select theaters. One of several mock trailers that was played in the beginning of the Death Proof and Planet Terror double billed Grindhouse release, it and Machete (2010) were voted by fans to become feature length films. Brilliance from the mind of director Jason Eisener and starring horror icon Rutger Hauer, Hobo with a Shotgun is proof that the visceral and timeless Grindhouse style is not going anywhere.
“I used to be like you... a long time ago. All brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special... like a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads. And don't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know it's wrong in the first place. Maybe... you'll end up like me... A hobo with a shotgun! I hope you can do better. “ -Hobo
