On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. Today’s Free Movie of the Day is the 2014 road thriller The Drifter, and you can watch it over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.
Directed by Craig Calamis, who also crafted the story with Danny Bellini and Daniel Smith, The Drifter has the following synopsis:
The Drifter tells the story of a uniquely troubled man, Chris Thatcher, who finds himself on a downward spiral induced by the dark memories of his past. In his search for purpose, the drifter spends his days and long nights on the open road, desperate to erase the haunting images that lurk deep within his mind. One evening, Chris finds refuge from the highway’s cadence in a small southern town and decides to make himself at home. While in his temporary haven, he unexpectedly crosses paths with an old acquaintance who is quickly entertained by the uneasiness that Chris exudes. The darker his memories grow, the closer he walks to the fine line between man and monster.
The film stars Christopher Lee Gibson, Bruce Jarman, Amanda Powell, Fred Lasday, Enrico Marcellino, Danielle Alagna, Corey Calamis, Jack McAllister, Lee Karlinsky, Michael Lane, Melissa Eaton, Ashleigh Miller, Zachary Miller, Jayvo Scott, and Savino Bellini. Writer Danny Bellini also appears in the film as a mechanic.
The Drifter was the feature directorial debut for Craig Calamis, who had previously directed multiple short films. One of those was an 11 minute film called The Drifter… and just like the feature with the same title, that 2009 project starred Christopher Lee Gibson as the title character. Calamis has yet to direct another feature, but he did direct at least one episode of a TV series called Critically Ashamed.
