Trailer: Gory horror comedy Uncle Peckerhead gets an August release

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A trailer has arrived online (and can be seen above) for writer/director Matthew John Lawrence's "humorous, yet gruesome" film UNCLE PECKERHEAD, which is described as "a Faustian gorefest, a madcap music and monster movie, and a horror comedy with heart". 

UNCLE PECKERHEAD is set to reach select theatres on August 7th, with a VOD/Digital release to follow on August 11th. It will then get a Blu-ray release on August 25th.

Chet Siegel, Ruby McCollister, Jeff Riddle, and David H. Littleton star in the film. The synopsis: 

Judy, the bassist of punk-rock band ‘DUH’, dreams of traveling the world and becoming a full-time musician with her two friends, guitarist Max and drummer Mel. But when DUH’s van is repossessed hours before they’re set to embark on their first tour, desperation sets in, and Judy strikes an uneasy alliance with a redneck old-timer by the name of Peckerhead, or ‘Peck’, who offers to drive them in his van in exchange for food and gas. 

One night after their first show, Peck mysteriously goes missing. Desperate to get back on the road to make their next show, Judy volunteers to look for him. Regrettably, she finds Peck devouring the brains of the promoter who ripped them off earlier. The band quickly comes to realize their new roadie is a cursed, man-eating hillbilly and the “gig life” they’ve always dreamed of is paved with nightmares and half-eaten bodies.

Lawrence produced UNCLE PECKERHEAD with Nicholas Payne Santos and Kristy Richman.

This looks like it could be quite entertaining. If you want to catch it on VOD/Digital, here's where it will be available: Indemand, Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Dish, Sling TV, Vubiquity, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox, YouTube, Amazon, Fandango Now, DirecTV, and Breaker.
