Vinegar Syndrome Pictures presents a Sunrunner Films production from director Austin Snell--They Call Her Death! And stick around after the screening for an in-person Q&A with director Austin Snell! On the wild frontier of the American prairie, Molly Pray is on a bloody crusade against the criminal forces that have wronged her. She shows no mercy, leaving a trail of bodies in her wake on a mission that ultimately strikes at the heart of the American identity and the notion of manifest destiny. But for Molly Pray - who has the embodied specter of death on her side - this isn’t political. This is personal. They Call Her Death is inspired by Euro acid-westerns, 70s exploitation films, shot on 16mm, has great practical effects, and is bloody as hell. Not to mention the cherry on top--a very cool Morricone-esque score!
