Ahab, a man obsessed with exacting a brutal, violent revenge on the man who murdered and raped his dad, joins John, an eager priest, Twink, a hot-headed street hustler, and Chelsea, the little sister he left behind, on an epic quest to find and defeat the mythical monster known as Chris Fuchman AKA The Father’s Day Killer.
Exotic, erotic and just plain psychotic, maverick Canadian production crew Astron-6 have produced the ultimate bad-taste B-movie that is guaranteed to make even the most warped minds grimace in delighted disgust. Lock up your fathers, it’s FATHER’S DAY
This edition of FATHERS DAY is the third and successfully rated version. It is less than 40 seconds shorter than the uncut version and we cut predominately full frontal shots of penis’s.
FATHER’S DAY was refused classification several times by the Classification Board of Australia. More info about the decision can be read here, here, here and here
Not since Jason Eisner’s HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN have we seen the genre played so well and so true to its lurid, seedy roots.” “destined to become a midnight movie classic” Astron-6 “are undeniable masters of genre styling and that shows in everything they do. They make movies for people who love movies and who love fun.
