for Barnabas Lux in THE SINISTER STRUT: A GANGSTER’S VAUDEVILLE NIGHTMARE (2027)
Suggested by danielhall
Set in a twisted, nightmarish version of the 1930s, The Sinister Strut tells the story of twin brothers, Ezekiel "Zeke" Morrell and Edgar "Eggs" Morrell, navigating the seedy underworld of vaudeville gangsters, cursed speakeasies, and existential dread. Zeke is a slick, ambitious mobster seeking to control the city’s most lucrative bootlegging operation, while Eggs, a pacifist with a penchant for philosophy, is caught in the moral fallout of his brother’s ambition. When a supernatural deal with a sinister vaudeville impresario, Barnabas Lux, goes awry, Zeke and Eggs find themselves trapped in an escalating cycle of murder, betrayal, and surreal horrors. The film explores themes of duality, guilt, faith, and the absurdity of life.
