‘Solvent’ Trailer Teases Mysterious Evil In New POV Horror From Johannes Grenzfurthner [Exclusive]
Filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner is a mad scientist of sorts. Between his two features Masking Threshold and Razzenest, he plays with form and perspective in fascinating ways, creating work that exists in the liminal space between found footage and traditional narrative filmmaking. And he’s back with a new film, Solvent, that seems to take a less experimental approach to found footage, but is still tackling strange topics from fascinating angles. And we’re excited to share a first look at the trailer and new poster!
In the film:
A team of experts uncovers a mysterious, hidden secret while searching for Nazi documents in an Austrian farmhouse. American expatriate Gunner S. Holbrook becomes obsessed with solving the mystery and, as his sanity wanes, he must confront an insatiable evil. Can he find redemption before it drains the life out of him?
Watch the trailer exclusively on Dread Central:
Solvent is described as a bizarre exploration of the extreme right psyche, presented in a stream-of-consciousness style, is a witty and sometimes hilariously outrageous POV-horror grotesque. Sounds on par for Grenzfurthner, whose previous two films didn’t really have traditional characters, with one presented as an audio commentary for a strange European arthouse film.
Jon Gries stars in Solvent as Gunner S. Holbrook with cameos from Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Alamo Drafthouse/Drafthouse Films founder Tim League.
Solvent has its world premiere at the Austrian-based Slash Film Fest and will have its U.S. premiere at the Nightmares Film Festival in October.
