Recently, Variety broke the news that Paramount’s Republic Pictures had snagged the distribution rights for the chilling serial killer thriller, “Vindicta,” and was gearing up for an October release. Now, the eagerly awaited trailer for the film has made its online debut (you can catch it in the embedded video above), along with details on Paramount Global Content Distribution’s rollout plan. Brace yourselves because “Vindicta” is set to hit select theaters and become available for digital purchase starting October 6th.
The movie features a stellar cast including Elena Kampouris, known for her role in the latest installment of “Children of the Corn,” alongside familiar faces like Sean Astin of “The Goonies” fame and Jeremy Piven, whose presence in “Judgment Night” left a lasting impression. The premise of “Vindicta” paints a grim picture: a sadistic serial killer terrorizes a city, thrusting a seasoned detective and a newly recruited paramedic into a harrowing game of revenge. Little do they know that the key to ending the bloodshed lies buried in the dark recesses of their own haunted pasts.
Adding to the ensemble are Travis Nelson (“The Recruit”), Daniel Cudmore (“Twilight”), Jaime M. Callica (“Ruthless”), Bradley Stryker (“Crawlspace”), and Karolina Cubitt (“Autumn in the City”).
The screenplay for “Vindicta” was masterfully crafted by Ian Neligh, building on a story conceived by producer Steven Paul. Serving as executive producers were Scott Karol and Charles Cooper, who helped bring this gripping tale to life. At the helm of the director’s chair was Sean McNamara, whose diverse filmography spans from “Casper: A Spirited Beginning” to “Soul Surfer,” showcasing his knack for navigating a wide range of genres.
“Vindicta” is slated with an R rating, owing to its intense scenes of violence and gore, strong language, and brief drug references. Horror enthusiasts and thriller aficionados alike will be eagerly marking their calendars for this spine-chilling cinematic experience coming this October.
