Press Release: In honor of cast member Dayo Okeniyi's appearance in the newest installment of the Terminator franchise, the team behind American Backwoods: Slew Hampshire has released a new poster AND three new exclusive teaser clips featuring their lead actor.
In addition to his role in Terminator: Genisys, Okeniyi has typically played supporting characters in Hollywood films like The Hunger Games and Runner Runner - but his work in American Backwoods: Slew Hampshire represents his first as a leading man. Despite being his only foray into the horror genre to date, his performance as "Bro" - the reluctant hero amidst an ensemble of creeps, cretins and creatures - has been widely lauded and even garnered him a nomination for "Best Actor" at the Shockfest Film Festival.
Since its release in June, American Backwoods: Slew Hampshire - which was awarded "Goriest Scene of the Year" by Rue Morgue Magazine - has been recognized as a stand-out amongst this year's crop of indie slashers and has been racking up recommendations by online horror critics. In addition to the newly released exclusive teaser clips, their official full-length trailer is linked below. Also, three previously released teaser clips are viewable on their youtube channel.
American Backwoods: Slew Hampshire' Stars: Dayo Okeniyi, Shawn Thomas, Jeremy Isabella, Claire Dodin, Matt Hish, Mike Apple, Brian Allen, Flood Reed and Tyler Rice...
Written and Directed By: Flood Reed - Storyline: In June of 1994, one of the most brutal mass slaughters in history occurred in the backwoods of northern New England. Four months later, history is about to repeat itself. The end of summer signals the brink of manhood for a group of lifelong friends who proudly call New Hampshire their home. But when they embark upon a local rite of passage - traveling north for one final weekend of debauchery together - it just might prove to be their final weekend PERIOD, as this rite is doomed to go frightfully wrong.
When they find themselves ensnared in a struggle for survival amongst a sinister hunting party, a bloodthirsty tribe AND a mythical beast, what began as a comedy of errors devolves into an all-out Darwinian duel to the death, and less than 24 hours will pass before a slew of lives have been claimed and the last of the living remains...
American Backwoods: Slew Hampshire is currently available through Amazon Instant, Itunes, Vudu, Hoopla and numerous other video-on-demand services throughout North America. The DVD (featuring 5.1 surround sound, gag reel and audio commentary) is also available through Amazon:
