A trailer has been released for Bad Day for the Cut, the feature debut of director Chris Baugh that will play in the Midnight section of Sundance 2017. Set in Ireland, the film follows a farmer who seeks revenge against criminals who murdered his mother. It looks brutal, with some Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin, Green Room) similarities, which is a good thing.
Bad Day for the Cut doesn’t yet have a release date beyond Sundance.
Directed by Chris Baugh from a script by Baugh and Brendan Mullin, ‘Bad Day For The Cut’ follows Donal, a farmer who still lives at home in a little Irish village with his mother Florence. Working the fields by day and drinking in the local pub at night, he seems content with a simple, quiet life, the only sense of his wish for something more coming from an old campervan he has lovingly restored. When Florence is killed in an apparent home invasion Donal sets off for Belfast in the little red van, looking for revenge. What he finds is a world of violence and brutality that he can’t understand and a secret about his mother that will shake him to his core.
