"Surely, it's one of the most aggressively, pointlessly repugnant of pictures" Variety "Artistic Intense and a Definite Thriller" The Washburn Review
One of the best indie horror / thriller films we have seen. After stealing a huge stash of drugs, speed freaks Hector (Brad Hunt) and Darena (Cyria Batten) plan to cook up an enormous batch of crystal meth and get rich quick. Hectors old buddy Merle (Patrick McGaw) has the perfect hideout / meth lab, an old abandoned farmhouse in the woods where no one will ever find them. Unfortunately, no one will here their screams either.
Turns out. they may not be alone after all. It seems the farmhouse is the site of a horrific urban legend.
Paranoid and tormented by demons and terrifying visions, they fall prey to their descending spiral of drug use and mysterious horrifying hallucinations causing the scared and frightened trio to ultimately turn deadly against each other !
If you like your hip and edgy thrillers “straight-up, no chaser”, we’ve found what you’ve been looking for.
Already notorious in industry circles COOKERS is a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. Dorena, a long-time crystal metham-phetamine ‘Cooker’, holes up with Hector, her manic and tweaked-out partner with a large amount of pharmaceutical quality base stolen from a biker gang. They head out to an abandoned (and little do they know – haunted) old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, and hook up with Hector’s childhood friend Merle. They set up the lab, test the drugs and embark on a full-tilt run towards destruction. Their paranoia and distrust come to a head, but the motivating factor remains – slowly cooking away in the upstairs bedroom. Is the evil that awaits them outside worse than what lurks within? Or is it all in their heads, just a paranoid side effect of the drugs and a week without sleep? You will want to take a long shower after you see this one.
