Shout Factory To Release French Crime Remake, RABID DOGS Next Month
Éric Hannezo’s directorial debut, Rabid Dogs, has a terrific premise for all one could say about remakes and such. This one has its fair share of mixed reviews to highlight this more slick and stylish iteration compared to its 1974 predecessor, but it should undoubtedly help keep the first time helmer on the map for further consideration.The main avenue of a crowded city. Sabri (Guillaume Gouix – TV’s The Returned), grips the steering wheel of his car, eyes fixed anxiously on the bank entrance opposite… A sudden explosion. Three masked men race to the car, loaded with stolen cash. Unfortunately everything is about to go wrong. With the cops right behind them, the car crashes and their boss is killed. Sabri and his accomplices are forced to run. The three desperate criminals will stop at nothing to make their escape. Taking a young woman and a father and child hostage, they embark on a crazy, violent road trip that not all of them will survive…
This chilling remake of the 1974 Mario Bava cult classic stars Lambert Wilson (The Matrix Reloaded, Dante 01), Laurent Lucas (Calvaire) and Virginie Ledoyen (The Backwoods, The Beach).
