Artsploitation Films has just launched the release of Killbillies. This is Slovenia's first horror feature. And, the film is heavily influenced by titles like The Hills Have Eyes (1977) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). A review for this title is available here, on 28Dla: A Killbillies Review on 28Dla. As well, the film stars: Nina Ivanisin, Lotos Sparovec, Sebastian Cavazza and Nika Rozman. To celebrate the Killbillies launch, three new stills are hosted here. The stills show some of the lighter and darker moments of the film. In an early scene, Zina (Ivanisin) sits with a few of her friends, in a cavern-like bar. There is little time for laughter, though. In a later scene, a photographer's assistant is tortured by two deformed hillbillies. This is a gruesome film. As well, Zina is shown again. This time, she is trying to escape the hillbillie's hovel. Beaten and bruised, there is little hope of a way out.

*full disclosure: minor spoilers are here. Director/writer: Tomaz Gorkic. Cast: Nina Ivanisin, Lotos Sparovec, Nika Rozman and Sebastian Cavazza. Killbillies is the first horror film from the country of Slovenia. Located in Eastern Europe, this locale offers a very rural backdrop, where cannibals can kill again and again. An Artsploitation Films' release, this title, which was scheduled to release in October, is already available on Youtube. And, gorehounds will want to take a look at this title as Killbillies offers many creative blood effects. But, horror vets' may have seen this film before. Director Tomaz Gorkic has been heavily influenced by Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; many scenes from this earlier title are replayed here. Still, Killbillies offers a lot of terror, in the gorgeous backdrop of Slovenia. The film begins with a photographer and his two models. They setup a shoot, in the Slovenian countryside.

★★★★☆ Slovenia may not be renowned for its film industry, but with Damjan Kazole's modern day tale of prostitution and social alienation A Call Girl (Slovenian Girl, 2009), it perhaps should be. This bleak look at the state of contemporary Slovenian society offers up a mesmerising performance by Nina Ivanisin as Aleksandra, a young language student in Ljubljana. Aleksandra turns to prostitution only to be swept away into a world of crime, where she desperately attempts to hold her life together after a client dies from an overdose of Viagra.
