Movie Buzz - Dead Man's Shoes

DVD Confidential is always looking for interesting independent films, and we've stumbled onto one that looks great. It's called Dead Man's Shoes. Here is the information, direct from Magnolia Pictures:

Richard (Paddy Considine) has always protected his simple-minded little brother Anthony (Toby Kebbell). When Richard leaves the rural village where they have grown up to join the army, Anthony is taken in by Sonny (Gary Stretch), a controlling and vicious local drug dealer and his gang of lads. Anthony becomes the gang’s pet and plaything. Seven years later, Richard returns to settle the score. One by one, he hunts down each member of the gang and executes them in increasingly elaborate ways as flashbacks reveal the extent to which his brother suffered at their hands. Dead Man's Shoes is a genre-defying film blending horror, supernatural elements, comedy, and social realism. Set in a Midlands village, it explores the underbelly of contemporary rural Britain in communities where crime is unchecked and drugs, intimidation, and power games are blandly accepted as the fabric of daily life.

Dead Man's Shoes opens in theaters in New York on May 12th and in LA on May 26th. It opens in additional theaters through out June and July.
