The Thicket
Death comes fast in Texas
Directed by Elliott Lester
Produced by Estuary Films, Nomadic Pictures
A gritty Western revenge quest through a lawless frontier landscape, driven by violence and desperation rather than introspection.
An innocent young man, Jack, goes on an epic quest to rescue his sister Lula after she has been kidnapped by the violent killer Cut Throat Bill and her gang. To save her, Jack enlists the help of a crafty bounty hunter named Reginald Jones, a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave, and a street-smart prostitute. The gang tracks Cut Throat Bill into the deadly no-man’s land known as The Big Thicket — a place where blood and chaos reign.
