The Burrowers tells the story of Coffey, an Irish immigrant wants the hand of MaryAnne in marriage. One night her family’s isolated ranch is attacked. But by who? Or what? All that is left in her homestead are the bodies of her family and she is nowhere to be found. Coffey sets out with a pair of aging Indian-fighters [Clancy Brown and William Mapother], a teenage boy and an ex-slave to find his beloved MaryAnne. Expecting the offenders to be a band of fierce natives, the group prepares for a routine battle. But they soon discover that the real enemy stalks them from below and they must unravel the mystery, ‘Who are the Burrowers’?
Mmmm ... Mack got to have an early look at JT Petty's The Burrowers back in early June and posted his thoughts on it here. I've been anxious to see it ever since - an itch I'll get to scratch next week at the Toronto International Film Festival - but in the short term I can at least get a feel for it by checking out the just-released trailer. Tasty. You'll find it below the break in the ScreenAnarchy Player.
