Vanguard Cinema will release EMPTY on DVD on July 26. Check out the cover art and trailer below. The artwork boasts that the indie flick is “in the tradition of THE ROAD and THE HAPPENING” – so I guess they never got the memo that the latter is a laughable mess.
The post-apocalyptic suspense/drama stars Ashley C. Williams (below, THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE), Jon Carlo, Barry McBrien, John Woodruff and Neicy Cerice. It marks the feature debut of director C.S. Drury, who also co-wrote the script with Aaron Gorvine.
Charming young slacker Dell Hansard is in love with beautiful Piper. He makes an impromptu proposal on a weeklong camping trip, but Piper, the daughter of a wealthy businessman hesitates. On their way home they stop at a gas station, and are surprised to find signs reading “closed indefinitely due to the gas crisis”…
Having been away for a few days the young couple does not realize the world is in the grip of crisis. They are stuck in the middle of nowhere and soon find out they must fend for their lives. They sleep at a nearby abandoned motel where a manipulative manager swindles them out of their last dollars. The crisis worsens when they are robbed of everything valuable they have. This is more than a crisis, the young lovers have returned to a world that has been completely turned on its head. This may well be the end of the world as they know it, and they never knew what happened. Can they stick together and survive, or is their love not strong enough for the challenge?
