Every Tuesday night, radio talk show host Stevie Bricks invites his listeners to call in and share their stories. When one night he asks people to share the worst thing they’ve ever done, high school teacher Ron Welz can’t resist. Big mistake—what he reveals sets off a chain of hilariously uncontrollable events adversely affecting his marriage and another couple. And when someone starts sending him body parts, his life really begins to fall apart. Who is tormenting him? An insolent high school student? His best friend? His wife? There are over eight million people in the Naked City, and everyone’s a suspect. New York indie filmmaker Onur Tukel serves up a blend of dark comedy with a dash of noir, horror, and relationship drama in this story of a man who better pull his life together ASAP. –Brian Gordon
If you’ve been following our horror journey for a while, you’d know that I have a massive soft spot for the genre of mumblecore / mumble horror / mumble gore. Onur Tukel’s morbidly comedic follow-up to Summer of Blood, might just turn me to mumbly mush. Staring Onur himself, & Bill Maplewood himself, Dylan Baker (Trick ‘r Treat, Happiness, Fido), this dismemberment mystery, is a perfect fit for me.
Applesauce is available now on VOD & in select theaters.
