This evening we came across the first ever images from the Adam Sandler produced (Scary Madison) horror movie, The Shortcut (check out the trailer), which stars Dave Franco, Shannon Woodward, Drew Seeley, Raymond Barry and William B. Davis. The movie centers on two brothers who come upon a rarely used shortcut in their new town -- and soon discover the reasons why it's so rarely used.
A shortcut through the woods saved a lot of time getting to school, but no kids growing up in a suburban neighborhood dared to take it. The trail ran within sight of a scary house with an eerie old man who would accost its travelers with an ominous message to stay away.
Town legend said he was involved in the disappearances of some kids long ago. Now that some of those same kids are in their late teens, they decide to find out the truth about the old man after they learn he’s still at his game.
Samdler is only producing, not starring so it might be alright. I'm a little skeptical with his name attached, but I'll give it a chance. How shocked will we all be if it's actually a really good movie ? Hand raised.
He may just be producing it but it's through his production company, Happy Madison, which as we all know has churned out nothing but stereotypical, ribald, poop joke movies. Derpty derp!
Just watched The Shortcut on DVD. Not bad; good use of suspense. PG-13 rating hamstrings it a bit, but fun nonetheless.
