Vs centres on four Super Heroes (Charge, Cutthroat, Shadow, and The Wall) who awaken in a seemingly abandoned town to find themselves stripped of their powers, and at the mercy of their abductor and Arch Nemesis, Rickshaw (Remar). They are shortly thrust into a series of psychological challenges where the stakes include the lives of a town full of kidnapped innocent civilians as well as their own.
The film has a low budget of less than $1 million. Filming began in late 2010 in California. The script was directed and written by Jason Trost.
Jason Trost (co-writer/director and star of the SXSW smash-hit THE FP) also stars in the film as the stoic leader of the victimized gang of heroes. Actor Peter Kuplowsky states, "Trost demonstrates a remarkable charisma that sneaks up on you amidst the small, but strong cast that includes Lucas Till (Havok from X-Men: First Class) and a scenery-chewing James Remar (Dexter), the grinning villain at the centre of this superhero horror flick."
