Featuring a post-screening Q&A with the director Connor Marsden.

Living in an alternate 1980s filled with graffiti-covered squalor and danger around every corner, antihero Henry Violence (Rohan Campbell, HALLOWEEN ENDS) comes to the rescue of his former lover as she sinks deeper into their no-hope world of drugs and crime. Unfortunately, Henry must double-cross a powerful drug lord in the process, setting into motion a kinetic parade of blood-drenched carnage. Never letting up with its vibrant punk energy, writer-director Connor Marsden’s visually pulsating and thoroughly grimy VIOLENCE is a fully lived-in, cinematic shotgun blast of action-heavy horror. —Matt Barone
