Director Israel Luna’s “Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives” will bring its tale of gender bending revenge-seekers to select theaters this Halloween season, prior to its November 9 DVD release.

The film already had a sold out theatrical premiere at Dallas’ Inwood Theatre, and Breaking Glass Pictures will release the film in New York and Los Angeles later this month at Cinema Village (Oct. 15) and Laemmle’s Sunset 5 Theatre (Oct. 22), respectively.

Presented in the style of classic 70s revenge films, “Trannies” tells the tale of the sweet and lovable Bubbles Cliquot and her band of fellow transgender vixens. After the ladies fall victim to an ambush by a baseball-bat-wielding, tranny-hating rapist named Boner, they set out to get cold-blooded, high-heeled vengeance with the help of some bladed weapons. The film provides plenty of laughs and bloody mayhem, which should appeal to horror and mainstream movie fans alike.

“Trannies” first made headlines this past spring after GLAAD protested its premiere at the 2010 Tribeca Flim Festival. The organization described the feature as “transphobic” and asked that it be removed from the festival lineup. Nevertheless, “Trannies” went on to play and has received warm praise from critics and audiences for its celebration of sisterhood and transgender empowerment.
