Cross Bearer (2013)

Cross Bearer: Directed by Adam Ahlbrandt. With Isaac Williams, Natalie Jean, J.D. Brown, Victoria DePaul. Heather is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend Victoria has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss Harry is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse… or so she thought. Determined to get out of this living hell, Heather and her lover, Bunny, plan to rip off Harry, ditch Victoria, and leave town to live out their days on the Greek islands in peaceful bliss. One big score is all they need, and Harry gives them the opportunity when he asks them to take care of a drug deal with one of his clients at an old warehouse. As Heather and her friends arrive, everything seems to be going fine until they make a grizzly discovery and are trapped inside by a rambling, religious maniac hell-bent on purifying the Earth of its sins through murder and destruction. Armed with a carpenter’s hammer and a fanatic passion, the Cross Bearer hunts Heather and her friends down one-by-one in a sadistic crusade to burn clean the filth of the world. Heather’s dreams are shattered and if she survives nothing will ever be the same. Unflinchingly raw, primal, and horrifying, Cross Bearer is a trip to the darkest, most vile side of humanity.

“Heather (Natalie jean) is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend Victoria has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss Harry is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse… or so she thought.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is spoiled by rather weak performances and an almost non-existent plot. But we quickly get the impression that acting and plot were not really concerns for those involved. Rue Morgue says the film u0026quot;was a huge hit with the underground horror communityu0026quot; and used copies were selling for $100 before a second run. Those who dropped the cash surely did not get their moneyu0026#39;s worth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe have some staples of Doug Sakmann and Backseat Conceptions: the excessive amount of naked women and the excellent gore (Sakmann tends to run in the same circles as the Suicide Girls and adult stars like Joanna Angel). Pretty sure I saw u0026quot;XXX-orcistu0026quot; in the background at one point.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs a bonus, I learned the term u0026quot;the High Fiveu0026quot; which had somehow previously escaped me.”
