The first trailer has arrived for the ultra-violent revenge thriller Bad Day For The Cut, which will make its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The feature debut of director Chris Baugh, the film follows Donal (Nigel O’Neil) who goes on a murderous quest after his mother is killed by some sort of gang (led by David Pearse). What ensues is a barrage of hammers, double-barreled shotguns, and fisticuffs in the wilderness of Ireland, all bound around the age-old concept of revenge.
Baugh also penned the script along with frequent collaborator Brendan Mullin, who have both worked on numerous shorts before taking the leap into Bad Day. Hopefully the film stands tall among some of its contemporary peers such as Blue Ruin, Kill List, and Taken. See the full trailer below, along with a neat poster and synopsis, for the film that also stars Game of Thrones’ Ian McElhinney, Susan Lynch, and Brian Milligan.
A middle-aged Irish farmer, who still lives at home with his mother, sets off on a mission of revenge when the old lady is murdered.
Bad Day For The Cut premieres at Sundance on January 22nd.
