The film stars James Clayton, Taylor Hickson (Deadpool), Costas Mandylor (the Saw sequels), Matt Frewer (Max Headroom, Dawn of the Dead) and William B. Davis (The X-Files) in a greasy, bloody noir thriller that combines the hard-boiled scribblings of Raymond Chandler with the satanic antics of The Exorcist. Synopsis: Private investigator Luke Harding.
Unbeknownst to Luke, the book is a much sought-after supernatural artifact and Fairweather’s greatest rival, the enigmatic Mr. Lamont (William B. Davis), pursues Luke with his henchmen (Costas Mandylor, Michael Matic).
And in respect to the genre, that’s a very good thing.
When it comes to horror and pulp cinema, sometimes the grottier the film is the better and writer/director Rusty Nixon’s rough and tumble little shocker Residue looks about as dirty and downmarket as they come.
