Just what the hell is ‘Lars Shrike Walks the Night’?
Vortex has announced the official US digital release of the sci-fi mystery thriller Lars Shrike Walks the Night, distributed by Filmhub. Starring six-time Emmy Award–winning actor Kelsey Grammer (Cheers, Frasier) in the title role, Lars Shrike Walks the Night debuts on digital platforms July 24. The indie sci-fi bender world premiered at the Lone Star Film Festival, where writer/director Gary Walkow took home the award for Best Feature Film.
Lars Shrike Walks the Night is the latest in Walkow’s loosely connected universe, picking up the story that began in 1987 with the Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner The Trouble with Dick. David Clennon starred as Lars and returns to the franchise as Richard Kendred in the newest film. The story continued with 2007’s Crashing and 2015’s The Trouble with Dot & Harry.
In addition to Grammer and Clennon (Thirtysomething, The Thing), Lars Shrike Walks the Night stars Christine Lin (Surfside Girls) and Kati Schwartz (the upcoming The Adventures of Cliff Booth).
Starting July 24, audiences will be able to rent or own Lars Shrike Walks the Night on Digital HD, including Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home.
Lars Shrike knows only two things: his name, and that he has escaped. Alone in a hostile desert landscape, he struggles to piece together who he is, where he came from, and what exactly he has fled. As fragments of memory, hallucination, and reality begin to blur, Shrike is pulled into an increasingly strange odyssey where every answer only deepens the mystery. Is he a prisoner on the run, a damaged mind inventing its own mythology, or a fictional character who has somehow stepped into the real world?
