Quick question to producer?


Where did you find the actor who played the executioner - and what is he like in real life? Just watched film on Horror Channel not too badly cut and for what you were trying to achieve I believe you did it! To all the so called critics try producing something yourselves!

Hello! The Executioner was played by hulking Vancouver actor Mike Bennett...he's very personable and a great guy all around. I hope to work with him again when I need a big ass kicking type guy in one of my movies. I believe he came to a casting call for that part...is the Horror Channel in the UK?

I thought you might say that - not that I would like to meet him down a dark ally :)
Yes we get the Horror Channel through Sky here in the U.K. and checking the censorship site it looked like your film escaped mostly uncut!
Recently watched Gutterballs - I was a teenager when we went through the so called video nasty phase here in the uk - when it was an arrestable offence for video stores to rent out films like spit on your grave - bogeyman etc - and New York Ripper was escorted out of the country!! Just made me wonder what our government would of made of your film then! Mary Whitehouse would have had a stroke!!! As for me I bet you had loads of fun making it and I get the feeling thats why you do it - I thought it was well done - but I can see why you can alienate people to your films - but hey, you can't please all of the people all of the time!
Thankyou for your response!
