Okay, sorry, this is getting complicated and more than a little silly. Hobo With A Shotgun isn’t out yet, but there is a making-of documentary, for which a teaser trailer has just been released. Fine. Whatever. Seriously though, HWAS looks like being properly gorey and a good old fashioned slice of exploitation fun. From the snippets [...]
