Ben Duff and Dylan Mulligan are best friends and co-workers at a mini-golf course. They’re also the last two people anyone would ever expect to be heroes.

But when their mutual friend Dougie is kidnapped by a demonic cult led by the sinister Eugene, they have no choice but to step up. What starts as an attempt to rescue their friend quickly turns into something much bigger, as they find themselves facing supernatural forces and a growing threat to their town. In the process, these two aimless slackers must embrace their inner warriors and become Gothic Slayers or at least, do their best impression of heroes as they fumble their way through a mission far beyond their pay grade.

Suit up, press start, and kick evil putt with Gothic Slayers.

Blending slacker comedy, horror, and adventure with ’90s inspiration and arcade motifs, the film will be released on Digital on March 4 via Cranked Up Films.

Two putt-putt employees and best friends must face off against a demonic cult that has not only kidnapped their friend but also threatens to destroy their hometown.

Caleb Harris makes his feature directorial debut on the indie film from a script by Ben Getz and Dylan Eshbaugh.

Getz and Eshbaugh star with Samantha Rothermel, Piper Verbrick, Quinn Hemphill, Jamie Day, Jayson Bernard, David Andrew Morton, Sully Brown, Daniel Yaiullo, and Melanie Rosedale.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to team up with Cranked Up Films to unleash Gothic Slayers upon the world,” said Getz. “Together, we’re bringing you a ’90s-inspired adventure comedy packed with laughs, thrills, and enough pixel-powered chaos to blow a fuse at the arcade.

When it comes to werewolf movies, so much excitement relies on the transformation. An American Werewolf In London still stands as one of the all-time achievements in practical wolf-itizing, and newer titles, such as Wolf Cop, have had their go at flesh-ripping, hairy mutations. So how does a low, Low budget affair like Daniel Robbins’ Uncaged stand a chance against more well-endowed genre entries? Don’t expect wicked effects work sans an ending that goes for broke (and even then, the wolves look a bit Halloweenish), but Robbins’ scrappy demeanor continually claws and scratches towards a meaty conclusion. Does it succeed? Well, that’s the million-dollar question (a question far too expensive for this film’s meager budget to answer).

This particular roaring nightmare begins when three college goofballs decide to spend their winter vacation in the middle of a wintry nowhere. Jack (Ben Getz), Brandon (Zack Weiner), and Turner...
