Steven Lessey (a perfectly uptight Stephen Young of SOYLENT GREEN) is a decadent horror writer living on the edge. In-between upscale drug parties and domestic decay, he desperately works through writer’s block by conjuring the most shocking and gross scenarios this side of EC Comics. This includes a telepathic goat with a taste for farm equipment, children gleefully burning their grannie with gasoline, and a Nazi punk band whose sonics make hobos’ guts explode! One of the true hidden gems of Canadian horror cinema, Mario Azzopardi’s DEADLINE is an unflinchingly grim, twisted, and cynically comedic study of a man’s slow descent into madness, punctuated by expertly rendered and creatively staged gory deaths.
