Fangoria Gorezone reviews PUNCH June 16, 2009
After a successful premiere at Crypticon and screening at the Seattle Elks Lodge in early June, PUNCH is starting to receive critical acclaim. Fangoria Gorezone recently reviewed PUNCH and also interviewed director Jay Cynik about the process of making the film and comic strip.
Here’s an excerpt in which reviewer Matt Molgaard mentions my performance as Dart:
“PUNCH offers a wide array of noteworthy characters with outlandish, and unforgiving personalities. Punch is a rugged tough guy with ice in his veins, Skid is the unforgettable dope man with an affinity for prostitutes, Trekkie’s the cornball nerd on the verge of explosion, and Dart …well, Dart is just damn fun.”
Those interested in seeing PUNCH can now purchase the DVD online.
