If you didn't enjoy James Wan's latest film since creating the first Saw called Dead Silence in March, than maybe you'll give his other flick called Death Sentence a chance. I had not even heard about it until recently, and I can guarantee neither have most of you. But here's the rundown: When a family falls victim to a vicious attack perpetrated as a gang initiation ritual, the vengeful father vows to track down each person involved in the crime. It's an adaptation of a novel by Brian Garfield of the same name. Death Sentence stars Kevin Bacon as the vengeful father John Hume. We've got a first look at a new photo from this film to introduce you to what may be something to look forward to this August.

Apparently it's Kevin Bacon in the photo, and after reading the synopsis, it kind of reminds me of The Punisher but not a superhero story and focused on a gang instead. Compliments of Solace in Cinema:

20th Century Fox is putting it out, and right now it's set to open August 31st. I'm interested in seeing more and looking forward to a trailer. It sounds like it'll be a step out of the horror genre from James Wan, but maybe a journey into a new genre that he'll yet again astound us in. We'll keep you updated on this movie as it develops. As of now I'm thinking the release date will change to sometime in the future, as no marketing has started yet, but we'll alert you to any changes as they happen.
