Hoagie (US Import BLU-RAY) Release Date March 24/26
A mysterious egg contains an impish creature who can grant great power, for good or evil. Brendan Bean, a kindly family man, finds himself face to face with the bizarre creature, and before long a friendship for the ages develops. Meanwhile, the depraved Benny Piazza leads his deranged militia on a violent quest to reclaim the magical homunculi.
Matt Hewitt’s relentlessly strange love letter to the “little bastard” subgenre is as much reminiscent of its inspirations (think Gremlins, Munchies, Ghoulies) as it is completely original. There is nothing like Hoagie out there, and there likely never will be again. This self-assured feature, full of goopy latex practical effects and squibs, is the culmination of a lifetime of ambitious no-budget filmmaking.
