Co-directors Stacey Edmonds and Doug Turner pitch an almighty googly at the slasher movie genre in their debut feature, the cricket-themed horror-comedy I KNOW HOW MANY RUNS YOU SCORED LAST SUMMER, coming to DVD on June 29th from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
If you thought The Ashes represented the ultimate grudge match between English and Australian cricketers, then think again. This time the game is not only personal, it’s also deadly and the biggest test is to stay alive. Edmonds and Turner’s hilarious and bloody movie puts an irreverent, parodic spin on slasher conventions as well as introducing a unique serial killer who won’t finish his ‘over’ until all his victims are permanently dismissed.
Full of knowing nods to many slasher classics and featuring bucketloads of blood and gore, I KNOW HOW MANY RUNS YOU SCORED LAST SUMMER is a fun romp that will appeal to cricket fans and horror fans alike (if you’re a cricket-loving horror fan, you’ve just found your perfect movie!). And, paying homage to one of the slasher genre’s most revered conventions, the film also features the most gratuitous, lingering shower scene (starring former Miss Nude Australia, Arianna Starr) to be put on celluloid since Brian De Palma’s ‘Dressed To Kill’.
