It is a job I don’t think I would be able to do. If sometimes I am already annoyed enough to go to my next-door neighbor when my parcel has been delivered there, just imagine having to knock on random unknown people who are never expecting you to sell whatever junk products. And with a clock and a quota to accomplish on your back! Even worse than phone selling, and that is already a big pain in the ass. But what sounds like a big nightmare by definition gets even worse in KnifeCorp.
In this horror slasher film, when a group of young idealistic salespeople set out on their first day with KnifeCorp, they have no idea they may not survive. While making his rounds, naive and ambitious high school senior, Wally Banks, mistakenly seeks the business of a dangerous recluse, who is all too eager to test out the product. When the young man unknowingly stumbles upon a dangerous secret, his goal changes from making the sale to making it out alive.
The mad man is incarnated by Kane Hodder, a big badass guy who has performed stunts in over a hundred titles and is better known for being Jason Voorhees in several Friday the 13th movies and Victor Crowley in the Hatchet saga. The kind of man you would always want on your side in any fight, and never against you.
The cast is completed with Austin Kulman, Peter Gilroy, Hymnson Chan, Boone Platt, Alexandra Stamler, Courtney Grant, Tiffany Shepis, and the special participation of Felissa Rose, the star and survivor of horror classic Sleepaway Camp (1983), as Wally’s Mom.
KnifeCorp is the debut feature film as the director of Zach Zorba Grashin, who has also written the screenplay together with L.E. Doug Staiman.
The movie has been acquired by Cinedigm Corp and it’s scheduled for a release this summer. Melody Fowler, the vice-president of acquisitions, stated “When young salespeople go door-to-door selling very sharp knives to strangers, what could possibly go wrong? Especially if Kane Hodder, as a menacing would-be customer, answers the door […]. KnifeCorp answers those questions and more with great exuberance and a high body count. The film combines the terror of a slasher with the humor and self-referential awareness of the best ‘90s teen horror films”.
