From the Press Release:
The feature is based on the viral short film The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon, written and directed by Richard Gale, which has received more than 29 million views on YouTube. Due to the popularity of the short, Gale has launched a Kickstarter campaign (which ends Nov. 3rd) to make a feature film version of the horror-comedy, chronicling one man’s encounter with arguably the most relentless and inefficient killer of all time: the Ginosaji. Clad in a black hoodie, the Ginosaji stalks his prey and hits him, repeatedly, with a spoon. For years.
Matt Barone, editor of the Tribeca Film Festival website, said “In a market where, *sigh*, new reboots of the previously rebooted Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Halloween franchises are already under way, (director Richard) Gale’s commitment to introducing a wildly new kind of slasher villain should be applauded.”
On Twitter, the Festival proclaimed Ginosaji – The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficent Weapon as “Simultaneously the funniest and scariest Kickstarter we would ever recommend backing.”
Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, The Frighteners, “Star Trek: Deep Space 9”) has joined the cast, in a role yet to be revealed. He appears in the Kickstarter video, along with a new trailer cut from test footage. The video reveals new concept art and details about the feature story which explores the origin of the Ginosaji, as the victim of his relentless attack struggles to find a way to stop him, and break a centuries-old curse.
