Epic Pictures is set to release the absurd festival favourite Butt Boy this April, and we’ve got a poster and trailer for the hard-boiled comedic detective thriller, which revolves around a newly-sober cop who comes to suspect that his AA sponsor is a serial killer with a rather unusual M.O.; check them out here…
Chip Gutchel (Tyler Cornack), a bored IT Engineer, has an awakening after a routine prostate exam. What starts as a harmless rectal kink, soon grows into a dangerous addiction as he becomes responsible for a missing child. Chip eventually buries his desires in Alcoholics Anonymous and tries to move on with his life.
Years later, he becomes the sponsor of Russell Fox (Tyler Rice), a newly sober detective. After Chip relapses, Russell is brought in to investigate another missing child at Chip’s office. Russell begins to suspect that Chip’s addiction may not be to alcohol, but something much more sinister. It’s up to Russell now to prove that Chip uses his butt to make people disappear. But who’s going to believe his wild theory?
Butt Boy is set for release in select US theaters on April 3rd, followed by a VOD release on April 14th and DVD and Blu-ray release on April 28th. It is set to arrive in the UK later this year.
