The Blood Brothers present... PULP
(2007)
A deranged psycho killer, deaf to pleas for mercy, tries one last-ditch effort to dodge the cops through the reluctant help of one terrified hostage. Molly, a young teen looking for a quick snog in the woods, now has to cover a zombie hicky. And Brianne has to keep Marybeth from pulling the trigger for just eight more minutes, but learns that, when talking for one’s life, time has a way of slowing down. This is The Blood Brothers Present: PULP: seven original works inspired by the pulp horror comics and short stories from the 1940s and ‘50s.
“The ghoulish Brothers Blood have returned bringing panic, terror, wit and gore to a city that can’t seem to get enough of it... These are the gory, creepy little tales to disgust and delight the audience.”
— Stage Buzz
“PULP could be the perfect guilty pleasure for adults who love to indulge in the general Halloween spirit, or who, to paraphrase playwright James Comtois, grew up on trashy horror and just can't get enough of it."—ELJ All Arts Annex
"All the shorts have a visual snap that is uncannily smooth... Directors Rebecca Comtois, Patrick Shearer, Pete Boisvert, Stephanie Cox-Williams, Matt Johnston, and fight choreographer Qui Nguyen all deserve credit for making the fake blood and body parts extremely effective.
The actors, often playing multiple roles, are committed and seem to have a blast... [T]here is sufficient originality and wit that it should please fans of horror or humor everywhere." — nytheatre.com
