In 1976, two women traveling to a photoshoot break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. They come face to face with Brutus, a hulking man wearing a creepy mask and his brothers Phoenix and Zeus. At the same time a group of people are in the desert for the photoshoot. The plan is to do a salt and pepper styled shoot featuring a black model named Roxy and a white model named Raquel. Since Raquel doesn’t show up, they enlist Sunshine, the make-up artist, to take her place. After the shoot they stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. It has a history of being very violent but has been vacant for years. It’s a perfect place to explore and take some pictures. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell bent on living up to the name. They are brutally hunted until the true nature of the family is revealed. Brute 1976 from director Marcel Walz (That’s a Wrap, Blood Feast) is a wildly gory throwback to 70’s horror classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes. The cast includes Adriane McLean (Miracles of Christmas), Sarah French (Blind), Gigi Gustin (The Retaliators), Dazelle Yvette (Garden of Eden) and Adam Bucci (NCIS Los Angeles).
