Furnace (film)

Furnace is a 2007 horror film written and directed by William Butler. It stars Danny Trejo, Michael Par, Tom Sizemore, Ja Rule, and Paul Wall.

The original script for Furnace was written by Anghus Houvouras, and the project was brought up to director William Butler, who thought that the story was reminiscent of the 1988 film Prison. Butler signed to direct, and he and his writing partner Aaron Strongoni collaborated to polish the script to meet Melee Entertainments budgetary concerns. The rewriting lasted six months and changed the story substantially. Butler said of the change, This of course was no reflection on Anghus, but instead the team of people at Melee that sort of took the film in another direction.Dread Central awarded the film a score of 2.5 stating All in all, Furnace is just another blah horror entry to clutter the directtoDVD market. As if the floating head cover werent enough on its own to dissuade you from picking it up believe me, this furnace is just blowing smoke. David Johnson from DVD Verdict gave the film a negative review criticizing the films first half as being too slow and stated that the film would likely disappoint horror fans. ........
