MPI and Dark Sky Films have announced the Blu-ray release of writer/director Bryan Bockbrader's
VANish (2014), starring Danny Trejo, Maiara Walsh and Tony Todd. The adrenaline-fueled road trip thriller arrives on Blu-ray on February 24th.
Synopsis: Hoping to score a hefty ransom, three thugs viciously kidnap a drug cartel boss' only daughter from her home in broad daylight. The captors imprison the young woman in their van, dictate terms to her notorious father, and then travel to the outskirts of the desert for the exchange. What the amateurs don't realize is that their victim is a force to be reckoned with on this violent road trip full of murder and mayhem. It's hell on wheels as time ticks away and the pressure mounts. The kidnappers find themselves in increasing danger from the police, hit men and crime bosses, and must find a way to keep their plan in order before all hell breaks loose.
First-time writer-director Bryan Bockbrader (who also appears in the film) told Shock Till You Drop, "I had this idea of doing a road movie from the perspective of inside the vehicle, giving the viewer a chance to ride along as a passenger. As the tension builds, we are trapped in this intimate place with extremely dangerous people and when the s--- hits the fan (or van), there's no escaping the chaos."
Dark Sky Films have yet to detail tech specs or special features.
