Hobo with a Shotgun originated as a trailer that won the Grindhouse trailer competition that Tarantino and Rodriguez threw during the release of their Grindhouse feature.  For those that remember the trailers that ran during the middle intermission should have a sense of what kind of movie this is.  Hobo ...

If the lurid title doesn't interest you, then hopefully the posters will. Hobo with a Shotgun is a carefully orchestrated mess which delivers on every account. It is gory.

There's an axiom on the internet called "Poe's Law," which states that essentially fundamentalism is, itself, so ridiculous that you can't really tell parody from the real thing. The law refers to Creationist extremism, but it can be applied anywhere and thus have we come to the point in retro ...

Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino gave the exploitation genre a much needed mainstream shot in the arm with Grindhouse back in 2007.  Following that, movies like Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and Black Dynamite gained newfound audience appreciation and there were a steady stream of gritty, 70s inspired films coming in around the independent cinema circuit, ...

If you're looking for some gory, crazy and fun entertainment, then look no further than Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun. This over-the-top grindhouse style exploitation film is a real thrill ride from start to finish. Rutger Hauer stars as the brutal, yet honest and smart hobo, who tries to ...

Even N.W.A. would be shy in Hobo With A Shotgun's Hope Town, immediately made evident in its darkness with "Hope" replaced with a graffiti "Scum", and subtitled with a spray-painted "Hell on Earth." If a world of Slim Shadies built a city and it was run by Peter Stormare's Lucifer, ...

“When life gives you razor blades… you make a baseball bat covered in razor blades!!!”Originally conceived as a fake trailer for a contest to promote the financially ill-fated Robert Rodriguez / Quentin Tarantino double-feature Grindhouse, Hobo with a Shotgun has easily outdone the two master filmmakers at their own exploitative ...

Based on a fake grindhouse trailer like machete and this movie has a grindhouse spirit and feels like a modern explotion movie. This stars  Rutger Hauer as the hobo and is so good in this film who wants to fix this now from the sicks and criminals in this film ...
