Trailer: Creature feature Tar gets theatrical and digital release next month

Earlier this month, it was announced that 1091 Pictures had acquired the North American distribution rights to director Aaron Wolf's creature feature TAR, and now we know exactly what their plans for it are. 1091 is giving the film a theatrical and drive-in release on October 2nd, with a digital release following on October 20th.

To start getting genre fans hyped for the Halloween season release, a trailer has arrived online and can be seen above.

Wolf wrote the screenplay with Timothy Nuttall. He also stars in the film, and assembled an impressive cast to share the screen with. That cast includes Timothy Bottoms, Graham Greene, Max Perlich, Tiffany Shepis, Emily Peachey, Nicole Alexandra Shipley, Sandy Danto, and Cinta Laura Kiehl.

TAR reveals that 

in the murky depths of Los Angeles’ world-famous La Brea Tar Pits there lies an ancient secret – a creature that, awakened by subway construction, emerges to terrorize its unsuspecting victims in a desperate fight for survival.

A longer synopsis: 

For 40,000 years, a long forgotten wetland teemed with ancient creatures, but now all that’s left is a pit of hot, sticky tar surrounded by a vast urban landscape. For Barry Greenwood and his son Zach, there’s not much left of their family business either. With the city’s subway expanding under their feet and their office building slated for demolition, Barry, Zach and their employees are forced to shut down their shop and move out. But when something primal is awoken by the underground construction, a night of somber packing becomes a desperate fight for survival.

Wolf and Nuttall produced the film through their company Howling Wolf Productions.

TAR looks pretty cool to me, and a creature feature with this cast is a must-see as far as I'm concerned. I'll definitely be checking it out next month.
