There is a nihilism and decay present within the characters of Toad Road that makes the film mesmerizing. The horror comes not from just a mystical location and inevitable conclusion, but a very real, very dark place in each of their hearts. It’s a unique film that must be seen, says Brian Sokel, vice president of Artsploitation Films.
Director, writer and cinematographer Jason Banker directed and produced Toad Road, his first narrative feature.
The story takes place in rural Pennsylvania near the town of York, an infamous area that according to urban legend has a trail in the woods containing the seven gates that lead to Hell.
Elijah Wood executive produced the film.
