Strangeland
Wanna come to a party?
Directed by John Pieplow
Produced by The Shooting Gallery, Snider Than Thou Productions Inc.
A dark, tension-filled revenge thriller centered on a sadistic predator and a father's obsessive hunt for retribution.
A pierced and tattooed sadist, Captain Howdy, trolls the Internet for naive teens, luring them to his home to torture and defile them. When Howdy kidnaps and tortures the daughter of police Detective Mike Gage, he is caught. Deemed insane, he is sent to an asylum but is released soon after, seemingly better. However, Gage knows it is only a matter of time before Howdy strikes again, and he's ready to unleash his own form of retribution when the time comes.
