Before their collaboration on Furtney’s 2010 New Terminal Hotel, back in 2004 the core team of writer-director BC Furtney, director of photography Nickolas Rossi, composer Trevin Pinto and actress Laura Leigh worked together for the first time to create the prize-winning, sexy-bloody murder mystery Mister Eryams. On Eryams’ heels came Disposer and Perfect, both starring Leigh in leading roles. Two later shorts fill out a new DVD collection now available on Amazon.com (Culinary Art and Voices).

If you haven’t seen it, Spike TV is running Disposer (2004), writer-director BC Furtney’s second contribution to Fangoria’s Blood Drive DVD series. After the Lynchian Mister Eryams was awarded Best Film of the shorts selected for Blood Drive I, Furtney decided to re-assemble his team and go straight for the sex and gore this time around. No thinking required (although I do have some theories).
New Terminal Hotel’s Laura Leigh (who graced the covers of two Blood Drive releases) stars in both films. Apparently, Leigh’s late-night confession to a deep-seated phobia of garbage disposals led to BC writing and handing her the Disposer script the next morning.
The film co-stars Wayne Kryka, who also makes a cameo appearance in New Terminal Hotel.
The thunderous audience response to Disposer’s theatrical premiere, opening the NY Horror Festival that year, was legendary. The film still garners requests for festival screenings world-wide.
