“Gallowwalkers” is the story of a mysterious gunman, Aman (Snipes), the son of a nun, who breaks her covenant with God to ensure his survival. Her break with God curses her son to be hunted by all those who die by his hand – When he takes revenge on a gang that murdered his love, the gang rises as a cursed crew of undead warriors and hunt him mercilessly, seeking their ‘dying’ revenge.

“Gallowwalkers” is directed and written by Andrew Goth (“Cold and Dark”) and Joanne Ray.

The film co-stars Kevin Howarth, Riley Smith, Tanit Phoenix, Simona Brhlíková, Steven Elder and Patrick Bergin.

Snipes is not scheduled for release from prison until July, but is already rumored to be joining the cast of “Expendables 3.”
