Bullets of Justice is a film made by Valeri Milev and Timur Turisbekov. Originally shot in 2017 as a pilot episode for a series, after a reconsideration of a concept it was eventually extended into a full feature film premiering at London FrightFest Film Festival on the 23rd of August 2019.[1]
The action takes place in the United States in the days of the Third World War. The American government initiates a secret project code named "Army Bacon" in order to create super soldier by inbreeding human beings with pigs. Twenty five years later a breed called "Muzzles" have occupied the top of the food chain, farming and eating well-fattened humans like livestock.
Rob Justice (Timur Turisbekov) is an ex-bounty hunter working for the last line of human resistance - a group of survivors hiding in a nuclear bunker deep underground. Justice is hired to find out how the "muzzles" came to power and how to destroy them.
The pilot episode was shot in 2017 in Kazakhstan[2] and is a sequel of the Project Zenit group’s clip “Қанағаттандырылмағандықтарыңыздан” shot by Timur Turisbekov. In January 2017, a crowdfunding crowd-funding project was launched at Indiegogo to raise $100,000 USD as funds for the film post-production. On January 31, a trailer was released.[3] A film commercial was also shot showing more details of the filming process and participants.[4] The movie was filmed in 17 days. Even before the release, the show was being compared with another movie — Range 15, similar to Bullets of Justice in terms of genre and "lavishly decorated in gore", and Danny Trejo's participation in both films.[5] It is considered that this project "has all chances to occupy its place in the world catalog of the most bloody films in Category B",[6] and that "the show promises to be piggishly epic."[4] Timur Turisbekov himself describes the project as "a grim satire created by a circle of friends".[2]
