Two years before he was cast as Dwight Schrute in the American remake of The Office, Rainn Wilson starred in an episode of Monk that had one of the shows most bizarre cases. Monk was a very clever whodunit for the most part, and while it had a lot of tropes, it always tried to come up with fun and creative cases for its titular character to solve. Adrian Monk was described as the greatest detective of his time, meaning that the show always had to give him equally complex cases.

One of the ways Monk found to stand out from other whodunits and crime shows was to often reveal the identity of the killer in the cold open. The real catch of a lot of Monks best episodes was not who did it but rather how or why they did it. That said, Monk did have several episodes in...

I’ve always had a soft spot for slashers with a decent gimmick, so I was delighted when Billy Club‘s penchant for baseball-related violence was revealed. Too many horror movies are content to stick to the humdrum formula of having a nondescript masked killer stalk the nubile teens of Camp Lake Name with no more of a unifying theme than having surfboard impalements be the chief cause of death; not so this film. Here bats, balls, diamonds and even – especially – pitching machines all have a central role to play in the slaughter of Billy Club’s innocent-but-not-quite-so-innocent victims, and the movie is all the more enjoyable for it, despite some ultimately negligible production flaws.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. The film’s story chiefly takes place...

Phase 4 Films is getting set to release Drew Rosas and Nick Sommer's Billy Club. Billy Club is an homage to '80s slashers of the past. In the film, several friends reunite fifteen years after the gruesome murders of their teammates. This film stars Marshall Caswell, Erin Hammond and Nick Sommer. A preview of the release is available here. The story begins fifteen years after a tragedy. Several years ago, three members of a little league baseball team were murdered. In the present, a raging killer is bent on adding to his kill count. Every home run brings another death. Billy Club is the second feature film from Drew Rosas. Rosas continues to debut quality, indie horror features. And, fans of horror can see more on his latest, below. Release Date: November 11th, 2014 (DVD, Us). Director/writer: Drew Rosas and Nick Sommer. Cast: Marshall Caswell, Erin Hammond and Nick Sommer.

Your mileage may vary, but for this horror fan, filmmakers making a sincere effort to deliver a fun, nostalgic slasher pic on a shoestring budget deserve points for effort, even if the results are uneven. An effort that fits that description is Billy Club, which had its world premiere during the Milwaukee Film Festival. It’s raw and flawed and feels like the work of young filmmakers, but it shows promise and has enough going for it to merit viewing.

In 1996, Bobby Spooner (Marshall Caswell) returns to his small Wisconsin hometown after many years away. He quickly hooks up with childhood friends Allison (Erin Hammond), Kyle (Nick Sommer), and Danny (Max Williamson). As kids they played on the same Little League team 15 years prior. After tormenting teammate Billy Haskins for striking out to end a big game, young Billy took revenge by savagely killing two players and the coach. His...

From the Press Release:

From the team that brought you Blood Junkie (2010) comes Billy Club, a new film that combines two of America’s favorite pastimes -- baseball and slasher movies! Billy Club follows the story of a little league team that was torn apart by a gruesome triple homicide and the four friends who reunite 15 years later to pay tribute to their fallen coach and teammates. A mystery unfolds as the secrets from their past begin to haunt them, and a vengeful killer, hidden by an antique umpire’s mask, returns to even the score.

As both a mind-bending mystery and a breakthrough genre film, Billy Club showcases a passionate collaboration of extremely talented producers,...

In the tradition of such horror/sports crossovers like Adam and Joe's Shinpads comes a tale of little league gone horribly awry. Dare you face the terror of the upcoming slasher flick Billy Club?

Drew Rosas and Nick Summer wrote and directed this indie effort starring Erin Hammond, Mark Metcalf, Marshall Caswell, Nick Sommer, and Max Williamson.
