Petty, JT (The Burrowers)
One film we cannot say enough good things about is horror/western hybrid The Burrowers. It starts with a slow burn but then amps up the tension through stellar acting, cinematography, and, my personal favorite, sound design.
To celebrate the release of the film onto DVD, I sat down with the writer/director, JT Petty. Dig on it below, and don’t forget to VOTE FOR US ON PODCAST ALLEY!
Official Synopsis: It is 1879 in the Dakota Territories. A handful of brave pioneers maintain isolated settlements in the badlands beyond civilization. Irish Immigrant Fergus Coffey is near to winning the hand of his beloved Maryanne when she is suddenly taken from him, her family brutally abducted in a nighttime attack on their homestead. Suspicion falls immediately on hostile Indians. Experienced Indian fighters Will Parcher and John Clay form a posse and set out to rescue the kidnapped settlers, taking along a naïve teenager hoping to prove himself a man, an ex-slave looking to find his place in the world and their ranch-hand, Coffey. But as men vanish in the night and horrific evidence accumulates with the dead and dying, the group discovers that their prey is far more terrifying than anything human, and their prospects are far more terrible than death.
