Give A Big Hand To "Bitch Slap"

"Bitch Slap" is a new action film directed by Rick Jacobson, from a screenplay by Jacobson and Eric Gruendemann.

Described as a post-modern throwback to Russ Meyer, Roger Corman 'el cheapo' exploitation films of the 1950's-1970's, music for "Bitch Slap" was composed by John R. Graham with cinematography by Stuart Asbjornsen.

The film begins when three 'bad girls', including a stripper, drug-running killer and corporate powerbroker, arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort a ruthless underworld boss.

"...Soon things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive and the fate of the world hangs in the balance as the trio are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected...themselves..."

Erin Cummings plays 'Hel', America Olivo is 'Camero' and Julia Voth is 'Trixie', with Lucy Lawless as 'Mother Superior', Minae Noji as 'Kinki', Kebin Sorbo as 'Mr. Phoenix', Renée O'Connor as 'Sister Batrill', Debbie Lee Carrington as 'Hot Pocket' and Zoë Bell as 'Rawhide'.

"Bitch Slap" debuted @ Cannes May 16, 2009, screened at the Toronto International Film Festival then screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

The film will play a US limited release January 8, 2010.
